Idle problems when I advanced cam timing
Just wanted to know if anybody else has had problems with their idle when they advanced their intake cam (4 degrees). I love the top-end but I don't want to sacrifice a good idle. Any input would be appreciated.
BTW I have a 93 Si with headwork and web- cams.

When you have headwork and performance Cams. It will make your idle funny. cause the cam profiles are Lopey. Theres nothing you can do about that, you sacrifice a good idle for the performance. Ever heard a built domestic idle? Their idle sucks but their power is amazing!!!

I advanced my cams +2-4 and I sacrificed lots of low end torque but hte pull at 80 and up is worth it.. I had rough idle till I got some nology wires and a header..
If ya wanna jack up your idle it just takes fives sedconds.. Adjust the throttle body cable just tighten or loosen it.. I normally tighten mine up on race day.

Does the +2 -4 mean you advanced your exhaust cam and retarded your intake or is it the other way around?
