best bet is to contact them and ask. i'd rather listen to them than someone on the internet imho.

Those cams should idle like stock... My guess is the injection latency is wrong or the cams need to be dialed in. Did you perhaps change injectors at the same time as going to those cams?

i can post a video of 2 different cars with those cams both idling perfect (and only one will even have a iacv).


when u hit the throttle does the car hesitate for a split second?

Yeah thoss cams and almost all SR,KA cams are actually very short in duration compared with their larger displacemnet conterparts. You would have a slighty "cammed" idle but for the most part they should be transparent. I don't think it's the cams that is cuasing your problem. There is a thread in the Tech section here that concludes that BC cams are not drop in replacements and that they have degreed properly to run smoothly. See if you can't degree them then trouble shoot to find the idle problem.

i was actually reading that thread last night... im really not completely sure whats up with the sr anyways. idle isnt too bad once "warmed" up but that really seems to take a while. when i start the car i have to keep hitting the gas just so it doesn't die and then i started getting a little higher idle lately(1100) looks like ive got work to do.
