Cams will make you lean?
I am just curious about something.
I had buschur turbo-back, mbc, stock intake box, fuel pump and mail-in dynoflash for those mods.
I added 264/264 HKS cams the other day. Now I sent my ecu for re-flash but like I said, do you think I was running very lean before I sent the ecu for reflash?
I know all the mail-in flashes make you little rich to be safe so in that case adding the cams will made me just normal or even leaner?
I drove the car like that for about 100miles or so... sometimes pretty hard but not more than 6000rpm... so full boost all the time.. now i am kind of worried if i had hurt my engine??
It didn't sound like it was pulling timing...
any inputs?
thanks,
Memo

yes of course cams will net you a leaner AFR without retuning...simple physcis
The longer you keep the valves open, and the higher up they lift, the more air enters the combustion chamber.
I am sure you'll be ok with 264/264 without the reflash in the short term...just try to get the new ecu in there as soon as you can!

thanks Adam!
I sent my ecu for reflash but I was very curious. The car didn't feel like it was pulling timing with the cams... i guess it is because flashed ecu is already set for 11.0 or so which is little rich for extra safety.. i guess with the cams the safety part was removed....

Im in the same situation ,custom tune for 11.1 AFR...
Installed 264 IN/EX
But was wondering how much it will change the AFR?? maybe... 11.5?
ANy ideas...going to get reflashed soon but waiting for my intake and will do it in one shot...

I think you will be ok. I had HKS 264 cams with the stock fuel pump, testpipe, axleback, cone intake, 21-20 psi, no fuel tuning and the a/f was below 11.5 from 5200 to 7200rpm in 3rd gear. PM me your email and I can send you my a/f graph with the above mods.
