Symptoms of wrong cam installation

he does have full exhaust on the car, so it tends to influence my opinion somewhat.
But the idle seems way less choppy than my 360 did with same cam and similar( probably) compression.
Remember, this cam is on a 106 Lsa, so by nature its going to have a choppier idle, especially installed per Howards 102 recommendation.

No, the choppiness will be a little less as the cam is advanced and a little more as it's retarded.....although I'm not sure you could actually hear a 6 degree difference one way or the other.....I could be wrong.
