Cam surge is a driveability/performance issue, not really a "problem". Its more common the bigger the cam is, because the ecm wants to bounce back and forth shooting for stoich.

If your going down the road at 35mph giving it 10% throttle, then all of a sudden it feels like you need to give it 20% throttle to go the same 35mph...thats cam surge.

If your going 40mph at 20% throttle then randomely it feels like you only need to give it 15% to go the same speed...thats the OTHER side of that cam surge.
