If you screw around enough on a untuned Joy Ride for that cam /engine who knows what carnage you could do, hopefully Knock Retard would save your bacon killing timing massively as its most likely what your up against. Or he just stuck a generic tune in for now from his library of tunes saved if he is a long time tuner, as a tune just for headers and intake is very different than cammed you may be limping by on it waiting fine tuning, and above all get it tuned ASAP is all I can say. Insist on them tuning it ASAP as your not in a position to rely on what tune you have.

Most limp a car to a tuner to get tuned after a cam install taking it easy on it, sure you may have a 160 degree thermostat and fans set to cooler but your stock cams tune will not be optimal for another cam and way off most likely as our stock cams specs and a performance cam are vastly different in LSA, lift, and Duration.

Yes he is a longtime tuner I think he did put a tune for now from his library is that bad? I don't got check engine lights on or anything but when I drive it when I brake it kicks then it stops he just never ran it on the dyno or changed my gears or anything
