If you have a Tach installed, check your idle speed. If its around 500-1000 thats good, but if your having issues on the high way you might want to go to a higher gear ratio. Your car might have enough power to make it "idle" at 70mph because your making 8 powerful stokes per rotation. Don't worry about your bolt on's.

Just put a banana in your tail pipe :x

sounds like you have a throttle cable length issue....or you dont have a good spring on the cable to return it to idle. You could have a cruise control issue too... just throwing some ideas out there.

First off your fan has nothing to do with revving. And what the hell is a 3 quarter inch cam?
