That sounds promising! How does it compare to other options in terms of installation complexity?
Honestly, it’s relatively straightforward if you follow the steps carefully. Just take your time with the timing chain, and you’ll be fine! Just remember: patience is key.
Tuning is absolutely critical after a camshaft upgrade! Without it, you won’t get the full potential from your new cam. The air-fuel ratio and ignition timing all need adjustments for optimal performance.

Totally agree! I’ve seen folks ignore tuning and struggle with rough idles and poor throttle response. It’s a must-do.

You can use tuning software like HP Tuners or EFI Live to make those adjustments. They really help in fine-tuning fuel delivery based on your new cam.
It’s interesting how a cam change can alter how fuel is delivered. A good tuner will understand how to balance it all out.
I’ve heard good things about HP Tuners too! What about ignition timing? Can anyone explain why it’s so critical after a cam upgrade?
Ignition timing is critical because it ensures that the spark occurs at the right moment for combustion. If it’s off, you could lose power or even damage your engine.

I recommend checking out tuners who specialize in 5.7 Vortec engines. They’ll have a better grasp of the specific changes needed for our setup.
That makes a lot of sense! The more I learn, the more I realize how interconnected everything is in engine tuning.
There’s a lot to juggle! Finding a reliable tuner is key. If you know someone who’s had success, please share their contact info.

It’s funny how we spend big bucks on upgrades but sometimes skimp on tuning. Don’t be that guy!
