That is how these guys are getting the ""cam" tunes, they are telling the computer to advance the cam timing at certain points resulting in the loping sound. There is no ill effect to doing this. The fuel smell you are detecting, is because with large cams at low rpms, there is not a complete combustion as it relies on a type of scavenging effect to get the air in and out of the cylinders. Results are some un burnt fuel atoms getting spit out the exhaust. It is much more involved but hopefully this sheds some light on the situation..  |
So are you ready for my car tomorrow?

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.
