    Default Mutha Thumpa Cam Help

    am trying to get a rebuilt ls1 running a Mutha Thumpa cam idling and running properly. Will use RAFPN etc but I cant really get it to idle so I can apply it. I know everyone says don't worry about AFR at idle but its showing 12.5ish at idle an 22 degrees if I use DVT and lean it out idle improves so I know its to rich. I've been reducing my VE in the idle area to fix this but how low will the VE end up? and will I end up with a very low VE and then a big step up as rpm increases?

    Would anyone have a base tune that I could look at to make sure I'm heading in the right direction.

    Can you give a list of mods and post your tune file and a log of your idle.

    You're running that cam with stock valve springs?

    Plus supporting mods in the valvetrain for cam.

    Okay. Your VE will be lower at idle with that cam. How low has it gone so far?

    I'll have a look through your tune and see what I can find.
