Cam idle

[01silverado]

Finally got the TR224/112 cam in and it idles like a beast! Thanks for everyones help. I used the compressor method for the springs and put the pulley in the oven. Both methods worked great. Is there anyway to make it idle higher? The thing dies alot! I plan on getting a Nelson tune but dont know when that will be. I still need to see if there is an idle screw. Thanks

You need to get a new tune from Allen. That will fix the idle. It might get better after a few hundred miles of drivng too.

But get a new tune to get the full potential.

I will, but is there a temporary fix?

Silvy..unfortunately that cam likes more timing at idle and the base running airflow and VE tables around idle need tweaking. My timing at idle went from 18 to 27, my VE table increased, and only after the VE retuning was done, could I begin to retune Base running airflow for idle....the VE values and rpm limit will effect this. There is a small chance the PCM will relearn enough to not die, but the retune is ultimately what you need......

Hope this helps...

I adjusted the idle screw and it is working good now. just need the tune

Drive with 2 feet until the retune. One on the brake, one on the gas.

Some people drill the TB blade to let more idle air in, but that is just a bandaid.

Like I said, a couple of days driving it will relearn the idle much better, but a retune is a must.
