    Question Tsp stg 2 cam & mds delete first start up help!!

    Hi Everyone

    As the title suggests i have torn down my Ram 1500 5.7 hemi, new lifters, valves, oil pump, cam phaser locked and stage 2 TSP cam, I will have it back together this weekend, BUT can I turn it over without any PCM modifications or will it damage my engine? I guess I will need to adjust the idle, but any pointers or don't even crank it over?

    Thanks in advance!

    You can turn it over and start it it will be pissed off but should run a few seconds. i would suggest turning the engine over on a relay jumper so you can get oil from the bottom to the top of the engine. That way when you do start it it wont make as much noise. When your ready load in stock file and ask for help some not all but some will not ask you for money to help you on your tune.

    I appreciate you coming back to me I'm just looking for help and have no problem paying for good sound advice/help, I believe you can hold your foot flat to the floor to turn it over not start to get the oil pressure up, its just the air ratio idle etc afterwards, im confused on.

    ok so i got her started but she doesn't idle for long and sounds like the throttle body is trying to correct, she then stalls, I have to give it some gas to get her going again, I will read the stock file tonight, but I'm going in blind to be honest, I am not building this for a track, just need it to be reliable and punchy for the road/off road. Thanks in Advance!
