Pretty simple thing. And with some lifter noise it's an easy choice for me and my car.
Just like I figured, you're missing the point, and part of the reason I bailed on your last thread. It's not the wrong cam, it's the factory cam. The engines were designed this way on purpose. The point of the video is to show you and others that these things can in fact be tuned to be docile enough on the street and don't exhibit the characteristics that everyone complains about if you know what you're doing.

When I, and others here, say it needs more tuning, we are talking about getting more in depth than just your simple setting idle mixtures and shutting the hood. That's not tuning. Like I mentioned earlier if you cared to read, you will need to get way more in depth with the carb than that.
