    Performance cams and EFI....

    Hey guys, another question (tried search but didnt really come up with anything that helped).

    I want to run a performance cam in my 2.8, I am looking at the following kit:

    Comp K16-233-4

    The description says there is some lope to the idle, and that it has good power. I want to know if this cam is going to cause the computer to have problems which will require re-programming. I have been told that the more radical cams have lower/erratic vacuum which will play havok with the computer.

    I guess my next question would be how do I go about re-programming the computer/getting it re-programmed? I am not afraid of complex electronics or computer things, and would love to get set up to re-program the computer myself so that I can tune the car without having to go to a shop all the time.

    The 260 grind will do fine with the stock programming. There is always power to gain with tuning, but you won't have any issues with it running with that cam.

      Get the crane 260 cam. More lift on both lobes and mroe exhaust duration. Also a wider LSA which the ECM will favour.
