Cam Heat Up???
After my cam install my car will heat up more than 210 when im stopped at a light/ oil pressure increases also. Can that be tuned out?

Cam should not effect temp.
Sure you have enough coolant? Did you do the install?
What gauge are you looking at?? The factory one is very inaccurate.

Stock gauges though right??
If so, the temp. one is pretty much a 4 stage thing. Cold, warming, warmed, and overheat. Ignore the actual temp reading on it....as long as it doesn't go red.
I have an aftermarket temp. gauge, and they tend to show at least 20-30 degrees different.

An aftermarket cam can make the car run a little hotter but unless the thing is a monster, good tuning should take care of that.

I'd try to purge the system....may just have some air still trapped in there. What t-stat is in the car and did you do a ported oil pump with the cam swap?

take your cap off the radiator and start the car and let it idle for a bit until the coolant starts flowing to purge the air and see if that helps.
