    Dfco is not happy with new cam

    Hey guys, & gals!

    08 grand prix gxp 5.3 ls4. Tsp chopa
    Working on tuning driving and idle. I am having dfco causing a jerk when activating. Is there a way to help this without having to disable dfco? Also having a very light throttle surge at 20-30 miles a hour driving out of my very large neighborhood. Where can I start looking to take care of this. So far ive got my final airflow pretty close, maf is within 2% in fuel trims. Need to work on my ve next. It cranks and idles and drives good except under the 30 mph area. Only a few times running under 50 it will feel like it stalls but comes right back. Any help and ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    It's quite alright to kill DFCO and I've seen it cause issues on plenty of cammed cars.

    Watch timing while it is bucking.. but anything FWD is going to be sensitive to a rough running/ bucking engine.
