    Heads/cam Motor really shakes

    I just did a tsp stage 2.5 head and ms3 install and with just a base mail order tune from speed inc. the motor really shakes. Is this normal? It does seem a bit rich but I did not expect it to shake like this. Everything seems o.k driving and idling. I am scheduled to go on the dyno on the 13th. Do you think it will smooth out at the dyno? I had it on a gm code scanner and it showed nothing wrong, no misfires, but it idles like it misfires? Any help or info will be appreciated. This is a 99 a4 camaro.

    You should invest in a HP Tuner so you can fine tune the fuel trims. I also had the tsp tune... They use LS1 edit, but the HP Tuning software works with locked tunes also. Mine was real fat at idle until I adjusted it down. Now it launches great !!! Good Luck !!!

    Yeah, its to be expected with that size cam and no professional tune. Once it comes off the dyno you should be fine though...
