Yes, the tune is to ensure I get the most out of the cam change.

Sorry no pictures or videos, but I took Yelcamino for it's first test drive yesterday! I was impressed. It drove good, sounded good, it even felt like it had some power! However, a few things need to be addressed...

1. As I came to a stop, the engine would idle down almost sounding like it was going to stall, but then it would catch itself and the idle would increase.
2. The exhaust would cackle and pop on deceleration (my '08 Vette did the same thing and I was told that just something LS engines do).
3. I need to bleed the brakes again.

I assume tuning will cure 1 and 2.

Overall it was a good first test drive!
