BC 280 Cams...No lopey idle? FIXED: Video of Idle!

Well about 2 weeks ago I installed Brian Crower 280's with his valve spring and retainer kit. As the title says my car doesn't lope at all...it has stock cam gears on it also. I want it to lope but I don't know why it isn't. Can someone help me?

Anthony

EDIT: Well I fixed it.....the intake cam was a tooth retarded. I set the crank pulley to TDC and fixed it. The b i t c h lopes like crazy now!!!

Heres a Video of her now:

Yeah I bought them for the performance but I also like the lopeyness of aftermarket cams. Yes I'm tuned for the cams now...mods and #'s in sig.

Anyone else help me?

Did they lope when you first installed them? Your tuner might have tuned the lope out. Not sure if you can tune lope out of 280's though. LOL

Loping makes the hair on my knuckles stand up.



If you were loping before the tune and now you're not why not ask your tuner? Nothing wrong with a semi-sleeper either.

My car never loped even when I first installed them. They pull 12-13 vac at idle so I know everything is in time....it might be in my tune I don't know.
