I need Help from you members

[318Sebring]

Last fall Chryco Psycho installed a Luanti 60401 Voodo cam in my mild 318.
The car runs great with a very small lunpy idle . I really like it.
My wife the Mopar Engine Expert says why does the car not idle smooth anymore.
Every time so goes for a ride in the car SAME Question.  Like a Fricking tape recorder.
Drives me NUTS.  So if everyone floods her e-mail btlover1@shaw.ca  with a comment like
" No Marty a SB mopar engine with a Luanti 60401 cam does not idle like a Mercedes "
" And a 38 year old plymouth does not ride like a new Mercedes "   
Thanks to everyone who can help.

Fred..

I think you should use it to your advantage, something like:

" I think you're right honey, I'll have to buy a new xyz to see if I can fix it. "

Should be good for quite a few add-ons.

I've had two mercedes cars. Me like dodge much better.

my wife is a gear head, and we have a very, very lumpy idle. My wife is an old mopar girl and she loves it.

have her come hang out with Kay ( my wife) for a week and she will be telling you to get a bigger cam.

I need to come visit - and bring my wife - where do you live?

 I'm sorry, but I had to encourage your Wife to keep hammering you. I didn't think it was fair that you get away without the BS that the rest of us get!
Sounds like you've got a great Wife.
You two enjoy that nasty old car and that bumpy idle!!!

Leave her at home.

What carb you have, a Holley-Demon or an Carter-Edelbrock?

I found the Carter-Edelbrocks do give a better idle, that is a pretty mild cam. No it will not idle like a new car but it should not be that bad.

Maybe I'm different, yeah I guess so cause I run 4 hi flow mufflers, two on each side to muffle the noise down. Still has a good sound but its deep and mellow. Those LOUD cars I don't care for, unless its a "real race car" with a real 600+ HP motor.

Then go for the bigger motor with the same cam arguement.

A carter 625 on top of an LD4B.
The car idles at 650 and runs GREAT . 
IMO the VERY mild lump is very nice, which i prefer.

thats what I am trying to tell my wife

[BIGSHCLUNK]

I think my wife likes the "vibration" from a lumpy idle..

She needs to be in a car with a single plane intake, 240 @ .050 cam for a week, then she appreciate your car more, ha ha

Tell her it's another $10K to get that shake out... If you get it, she's a keeper and I'd build a 512" that idles like a Cadillac. If not, have her stay at home .

[HemiOrange70]

Tell her when things get older they get louder and ride rougher-including her
