Any comp cam users please chime in.
I have a set of 101300, ran the set straight up with out adjustable cam gears when the car was manual. Today was the first time that I started my car up since the auto swap. At first the idle was very rough, still at 800 but very lopey. Vacum was at -10, so tried to drive around the block and it stalls coming to a stop, the vacumn is just not there. No other settings in link have been changed, so looks like will toss in the stockers for now until so i can drive my car around, sh*t its been 2 years.
Any other comp cam users please chime in. From what I have searched, there kinda close to BC280s

Yes, my timing was retarded 8 * , set it back to stock. Adjusted the biss and rechecked timing/ignition timing. Still not good. It will idle but as soon as I put it in gear it dies. Must be to aggressive cam for the auto

what are you using to control the auto? make sure the torque converter lock up clutch isn't engaging. I had an E35A auto Galant that would stall immediately when put into drive (and reverse would not engage) - turns out the TCU was faulty (leaking caps) and was engaging the lock up clutch immediately, or over-riding the control of engaging reverse gear. With the TCU unplugged and the trans reverting to fail-safe mode reverse was functional and while the forward gear was limited to just the third gear, it no longer was stalling.
