I bought this car so I am trying to get her tuned and straightened out.
302 bored 30 over, roller cam, (no I don't have specs) EFI, aluminum heads, MSD distributor and ignition.
The car runs too rich, backfires, runs rough under 2800 rpm.
Bogs down, hestitates, generally runs like crap. If you get her out on the highway and open her up she could run forever.
Low rpm range is horrid.
I was recomended to an EFI expert who really knows his stuff. He hooked up his equipment and we took her for a spin and he said I have two problems, that also have too much cam.
Unlike almost everyone on here, I am not a mechanic, but a lover of beautiful automobliles and I love my car, but I do not know if he is taking me for a ride or I have too much cam.
My brother in law says BS, if the car is not tuned right, it will make the cam act stupid. He is a mechanic, but lives out of state and knows carberators, not EFI.
His recomendation was buy an intake and a Holley and throw out the EFI system, but I'm not looking to do that just yet.
I would prefer a poperly tuned EFI car.
So, should I tune the car and see how it acts with the current cam or is it actually possible to have too much?
