Hey guys i wanted to know if a fuel controller (s-afc, megasquirt, v-afc ,etc.) is need to use with a crane 14 cam... If it is what are the consiquences of not running one... Loss of power bad gass mileage? Thanx

yes youll need something along the lines of a safc so youre not running to rich at idle. you can tune a little more out of the engine as-is but the safc is mainly to cut the fuel ~20% at idle as its too rich. the larger cam makes the engine think as though its under loud and so its adding to much fuel and over-compensating

if you dont tune the fuel your car will sound like this (towards the end of the film)
