272 cams problem?

[2g_turtle]

Hey guys I have crower 272/272 cams on my car and it used to sound like it had cams, like the usual brap brap brap brapbrapbrap brap brap sound, but now it doesn't sound like it used to it just sounds like a normal car, any ideas on what would cause that to happen? Could something be wrong? Thanks!

What are you ideling at? Could be why it "sounds" stock. Also even though they are 272's different companies have different lift a duration to their cams. So and hks 272 will sound different than say a BC 272.

It Idles at around 800-900rpms and yeah I have bc cams, I'm just wondering if something is wrong because it used to sound like I had cams and all of a sudden it doesn't?

is the cars idle okay? it is up&down or planted @ 900?

It stays around 850-900, doesn't move much

I don't know if it needs to be retuned or what, it also stalls when you push the clutch in and the rpms are too high, they both started at the same time, I'm not sure if it's a tuning issuse or not.

What your afr running at idle. With mine, hks 272's, with it was rich, like 13:1 it would smooth out but at 14.7:1 it would be lopey

Mine jumps between 14-15 at idle and even hits 16 sometimes

It sounds like there's cams while its warming up and then once its warmed up but once you drive it, the car idles like normal and is lean sometimes. And like I said stalls if the rpms are too high when you push the clutch in.
