  • Did headers/cam swap

    and it's popping like a son of a *****. GT2 cam and supporting springs/pushrods (105 lb springs). Along with a Texas Speed tune.

    It pops whenever you hit the throttle real bad. Normal symptom?

    Is it because of using paper gaskets? Is that causing the popping?

    Please someone help I'm literally like fretting right now

        Okay, so if it's running lean, how is that fixed?

        And I apologize ahead of time if I sound rude or anything. I'm just like upset/nervous/scared/i dont know right now. I'm shaken up I guess.

          TSP will have to redo the tune.

            As in.. they messed up?

            I had the tune sent in while I was installing the stuff. They tuned it to everything I told them I was installing.

              every car is different... just sending them the pcm won't help they need something to go off of, like logs or a Wideband, dyno with wideband... something

                How do I go about getting some type of log then?

                And if my car's running lean, will that damage anything by running it too long?

                      Yeah, me too. Thanks.

                      My dad was so pissed he went straight to bed. I stayed up 'til 2 trying to research it. First thing that came to mind this morning was to check coolant/oil and the plugs. :)

                          When I first started my car it idled nicely.
                          When I went to drive it, it misfired SEVERLY!
                          After double, then triple checking the plug wires, then installing new plug wires I found out that some of my spark plugs where somehow misfiring. They all looked great, but replacing them made it run great!

                            I built a 383 for my blazer and it was also my first build from the bare block up. I remember the first time I tried to crank it and my carb belched a ball of fire!!!! I had the dizzy 180 out I about crapped myself LOL. But after i fixed that problem she fired up and sounded sweet!! But then I heard a knocking sound and found out that you cant use a 350sbc oil pan on a 383 cause it will rub against it and sound like a rod knocking changed oil pan a Voila! Long story short Its the little things that will frustrate the HECK out of you.
