You need a proper tune, I am surprised it was allowing you to even drive it before without one. I figured it would have died all the other times too.

That makes sense. EPS is a pretty well known shop around this forum and Patrick G is known as the cam guru as well. I'd give them a shout. I know you probably arent interested in another cam swap, but I think there are much better options out there for you and you would me MUCH happier in the long run.

If you don't tune, how did you adjust the idle? I hope you know that the throttle stop screw is not for adjusting the way that the engine runs. I don't understand how your truck even runs with all the changes you have listed, and a stock tune. That is what you imply when you say un-tuned, that it has the tune that it came with from the factory.

It was a false alarm i left the clamp on the intake loose and it was sucking air behind the MAF.. and i was using a GM tech 2 to adjust the idle and install update to the ecu.

Ive had one of his alts, it lasted about 6 months before it broke, sent it to have fixed, lasted about 5 minutes and broke again.

On another note, why dont you have it tuned? Any cam is going to run like crap without being tuned.
