Cam Surging

I was told that Cam Surging is not right by someone that seen the car. Was told that the needle should not move. Here is a video, this is a TSP VVT-3 cam with stock heads, has the springs/pushrods that came with the Cam. Was told the tune is off. AFOM has a cam in his Fox body Mustang and his RPM do the same thing.

It definitely shouldn't surge like that... Take it back to your tuner or find a new turner...

I don't think the cam is causing the surge. Suspect the tune for Adaptive Idle was not adjusted for the bigger throttle body.

ok, thanx for the comments. Will talk to him and see what he wants to do. Anyone know if another shop would be able to tune it? It is a HP Tune but can another shop get into the tune?
