    Default misfires... after cam

    (as opposed to actual misfiring). More crank ripple does this,
    see it with lightweight torque converters too. If it stays just
    "random" then I'd start upping the threshold values in the
    misfire tables (x2 everything for starters).

    guys, any input. Not trying to be demanding but figuring that after cam swaps and such that people would know this as an easy one

    well... maybe. thanks for that post/link too. didn't get a chance to log misfires, but I did mess with the misfire tables. I'm not getting knock/detonation, so I don't think it applies to me

    ok, had to modify the misfire thresholds table(s) in the tune and it went away, car runs great. for some reason 220 or low 22x cams like to come right within the factories computer misfire threshold and trigger it.

    problem solved and she runs great
