PROBLEM FIXED i actually didnt put these cams in i got the car with them in and the kid oviously didnt really know what he was doin he said that the timing had to be really advanced for it to idle(which was wrong) i set timing on the distributor to stock and it runs 100% better!!!!! it even holds idle at 800 fluxates at lil between 7-9 but mainly 800rpms

i am running the m23 and i cant get them to idle for nothing
the distributor is turned all the advanced just to get the car to idle (this doesnt seem right)!!!!
i am running rockets valvesprings and retainers
spoon headgasket
arp head studs on a jdm itr motor
and the cam gears are set at zero

PM Rocket about it. Your cam timing may be off.

check cam gear timing, ignition timing, fuel pressure.

what management are you using?

last guy i talked to about rocket cams had to adjust cam gears by nearly 5 degrees to get timing right.

hatchbackhonda

i did read what they said and that gave me somewhere to start!!!!! i dont know where is a good place to start to set the cams

chad

it's funny...people think you can just drop cams in and make mad power.....lol.....

hatchbackhonda

yea i really dont think that way bud i am just trying to get my car to idle better and get it somewhat dialed in so it can go to my tuner and have my hondata put on and tuned

Most of Rocket's stuff isn't designed for street use, regardless of what they say on the site.

what you want to do is set the timing to about 8 degrees retarded--- you should have a perfect idle then--- i actually set mine to 10 degrees retarded and they ran great--- LOL
