Default Nismo Cam Installation

I'm planning on getting the Nismo Cams installed on Monday by a local Infiniti dealership. I wondering if there any special instructions that come with the cams. I bought them used and didn't recieve any paperwork. Thanks.

Although my infiniti dealer agreed at first to install the cams, I'm now having trouble convincing them that they're doesn't need ot be any other major work done.

Does anybody know of other dealerships that have done the install that I can get in touch with?

Thanks!!!

Bill,

Have them up the idle to about 750-800 rpm, and have them do an idle/air volume re-learning procedure with the consult II.

They are said to be the best street cams, I recommend them. Performance Nissan has them for a reasonable price, and their service is excellent. My install was 13 hours and came out to around $1200.00.

It should.....I was honestly stalling every time I came to a stop(due to loss of vaccum), once they did the procedure, it was fixed.
