hot start issue
takes 3-4 tries to get the motor to turn over when hot after cam swap. will i get quicker starts with more crank timing or adding some fuel?

Re: hot start issue
Does the motor not turn over?
or just not start (takes 3-4 revolutions)?
If it doesn't turn over I would suspect the starter solenoid is getting hot from the headers. Get a heat shield on there to save it from cooking.
If it takes many revolutions to start then it could be the warm park position for the IAC needs to be changed. Not enough causes hard cranking, too much freewheels but has too much air.
Adding/subtracting fuel would depend on that setting.

Re: hot start issue
motor is turning over but doesn't catch. it hippups sometimes leading me to believe it needs more fuel. i'll try adding some park steps and see wht happens.
