I am going to go with ECU tune as well. My car has a strange 'zero vacuum' burble that almost sounds like a low RPM rev limiter when I wallow around in the paddock.
Or, sometimes if it looks like a pig, and smells like a pig - it IS A PIG! Cam checks aren't THAT bad!

Depends on the car Andy. Suzuki, old Prelude...sourcing one to provide Topeka is gonna be a challenge. A Miata? Easy. Pulling it out from a BMW 2002 and several other similar, head has gotta come off and it's gonna be an expensive protest.

A car with adjustable timming, i.e. a distributor can sound like it has a cam if the timming is off @ idle. I know I used to disable advance and set timming at 34 degrees in certain IT cars. This would most often be mistaken for a cam. Also makes them hard to start which sounds like you have too much compression.

True Dave. Sounds like there are some rumors about a car or two in Ed's patch. The beauty about a protest - you don't pay if you WIN!
Do your research. Make sure you know your stuff. Protest the car.

That's what these threads are, "research".

Cool. If I can help you find some cam specs, let me know.

Well, If its a Toyota, when you de-smog it, the idle hunts up and down and idles bad... Especially without the cold start circuit working as it was designed... And that's with stock cams and a stock ecu.
