You need to be tuned by a CMR dealer. The Predator tunes are for "mildly modded" vehicles. Once you swapped the cams, you left that area.

You probably need to replace your gigantic cam shafts, if you're sticking with the stock turbo. With just a stock turbo/head, the large cams are more trouble than they're worth. A CMR can retune to help things out but i can run a bit of money for the custom tune. Relying on emails tunes, imo, to tune large cam would be futile.

There is a possibility that if the previous owner installed such large cams, he might have installed much larger injectors too and thats another reason it runs so poorly. Who knows what was installed or done to the car that could be doing more harm than good.

If it were my car I would catalog all the specific equipment(mods) thats been installed and then figure out what mod matches your HP goals and whats just needless overkill

right now the car is mostly stock except cams bov wga. it has 3" exhaust all the way out. I have a agp 50 trim on order but i went threw and replaced all internals to make it hold high horse power. i was just trying to break motor in on stock turbo before the big one came in. i bought car with a blew up motor so i have no idea how it ran before. would leaning out the car help. also i checked and there is no cmr dealer that does dodge near my location.

you don't need a cmr dealer in your area, you can get an email tune through certain vendors. that will probably be your best bet before you destroy this motor
