idle changed when installing cam gears !
 

hi friends i want to know if its normal for my engine at idle to have like some kind of lumpines, actually engine noise at idle changed you can hear it more by the cat back exhaust that the noise varys, also when you look at the tach needle it doesnt even move at idle it stays like at 900rpm this happen when i installed the cam gears on my car they came pre-set at -5,-5 also a lot of freinds tell me its normal cause timing actually was retarded but i just want some opinions and thanks!

engine noise changed at idle anyone?

Damn! -5/-5? never heard of that, my 272's were at -2/-2. my 280's are at -2/-1. and now re-set to 0/0. I guess the idle would change with settings like that!

well thats how vishnu send them to me!

remeber i have stock cams and i have the v360 kit

do you think its normal?

-5, -5 is how the gears are supposed to be with stock cams. Can't help you with the idle question though.

I had NO clue the stockers were set at -5/-5! Thanks for that info.

Is the timing belt off a tooth? otherwise, I would say its OK. Call e-mail Vishnu for confirmation though. Good luck, and keep us posted.

the instal on the cams was done properly but i hope the guys at vishnu answere me here maybe dustin or shiv??

No, the Vishnu Stage 1 package requires you to set your stock cams at -5/-5. That is how mine is set up. BTW my car idles no different than stock. The only thing I noticed is that my vacuum idle went down about 2 In.Hg.

well yes idle is the same but when i listen to my engine at idle or i listen to my back exhaust the noise it normally produces has like a blurp sound its kind of hard to descibe but if you listen to your engine at idle is the sound consistent or is it an inturrupted sound?

Are these adjustable cam gears? can you see if they are on their marks? did you get the correct map with your XEDE? did you send it in for a flash? Do you have any other mods?

yes they are ajustable and are correct i also have the correct map with xede and this are my only mods!

is that the only thing you did was put the Gears on? or did you hook up your XEDE at the same time? how is the driveability?
