A 600 HP power adder is overkill for this engine, but that is another story
I know this is silly, but you did check firing order 18436572
Drivers side front to back 1357
Passengers side front to back 2468
I have also seen cams boxed wrong and you end up with a 4/7 swapped firing order cam...so the firing order becomes 18736542...but I really doubt that would happen...??? grasping at straws here...do you have the tube the cam arrived in ? 
How smooth does it fire when at idle? Does it want to shake itself all over the place? |
The Fi-Tech is up to 600 hp. I understand what you are getting at though. Cam came in plastic tube. Idles fairly smoothly and fires right off. I fully understand the "grasping at Straws". I have been told a few times that 190lbs static pressure is very high, maybe for this cam to high, pushing past the open intake valve at the very end before it closes, back to the grasping thing...
I do plan to remove the heads and dismantle them to check for sticking valve or ...
