    5.7 Cam swap oscillating Idle

    I'm very unfamiliar with dodge tuning and would like some input. Comp cams 218/228 with lockout and K&N CAI. Car surges at idle horribly and I'm unsure if I'm starting with a stock file or not. Any help would be great.

    Some points need to be addressed in the tune
    - CAN set up
    - Airflow
    - Idle PID
    - Spark (probably)
    - Neural Network (probably)
    - Losses
    -...

    Lilsick, are you offering to be a consultant or tuner?

    whatever he needs... i get paid to help.

    some need help picking a winning combination

    some need help with the tune

    some have already picked their own combination and/or had it tuned elsewhere and now need help troubleshooting.


    here is a pick of a customer's motor who's tuner did not have the base file close enough:

    i had a feeling his tuner washed the rings out of the thing trying to get it right

    it happens quite often - gotta know what you are doing

    this is why i requested that your buddy 1320bee leak his down

    and you johncarter, you struggled for months with yours after camming it

    you might wanna leak yours down and see how well yours is sealed up?

    this motor had over 25% going by the rings after going through what yers and bee's mighta went thru:

    I agree partially with you.

    Yes, I did face issues because of "tuners" like you... the same way as 1320bee was scammed, I was too. So, I decided to learn it.

    You are just assuming Bee's looks like this... I guess you would have known in case you had tuned his and not communicating you are only "consultant" after payment is done - How is this being professional?

    I was looking for a tuner, not a consultant LilSick. Actually, after full payment, you stated you don’t actually tune, rather you are only a consultant. And then to top it all off, you said “Sorry for the confusion”. What? Confusion? No, there was not confusion, only a false advertisement for tuning services. After I asked for a refund via text message, which I have them all, you said you’re blocking me because you felt “threaten” when I stated I would seek a small claims proceeding when you failed to reply to my refund request. I seriously don’t know how you can face yourself in a mirror and think you have any integrity at all. The right thing to do would be to refund me the entire $600.

    Lilsick, you have the nerve to accuse me of being on drugs. The fact is, you’re not a tuner at all. You are the one who is a complete fake, and scammer. You take my money, and won’t give me a refund after you flip flopped as a tuner to a consultant only. You have no integrity, you’re dishonest, misleading, and a sorry excuse for a person.
