Idle Quality?
I am just wondering how smooth does this cam idle.
It is in a 6.0L Comp Cam 206-212 Duration @ .050 the lift is 515-522 on a 112 LSA. Thanks |
Small cam for a 6.0 should idle nice and be drivable on a stock verter..
|
Well it idles rough in my opinion! It idles rough in park but a little smoother in gear. but that is at 670 RPM in gear? Would anyone know how much more fuel should be added at idle?
|
That cam is tiny it should idle like stock. I have a mid 220s in my 6.0 that you wouldn't even know it wasn't stock if it wasn't for the increased valvetrain and exhaust noise. Idle is at 650.
|
is it the part number 54-408 i run this cam in my iron ls1 and it idles very smooth, drives well on stock verter. good 4x4 cam
|
I've got a bigger cam in my 5.3 that doesn't idle much different than stock (Idles at 680-720). The only thing that I see on yours that might give you a little lope is the 112 LSA.
|
So your saying you have this cam in your truck already?? That is a small cam.. I guess you have not heard a hard idle cam in one before??
|
Here's an idle clip of my 5.3 with a 216/220-114LSA cam. Your's should idle smoother than this.

That is something your tuner needs to adjust, a straight answer will not suffice without seeing a log of it running. Also, ignition advance plays a big part in idle quality.
