Drive Train Axles Bearings problem
1975 Chevy Camaro V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I recently replaced a stock camshaft with an R/V camshaft. Sense then i can't spend my tires at take-off. Everything was replaced to spects. My timing is also advanced. Although i have this issue the engine runs and sounds strong.

It sounds to me like either your cam timing is retarded, or you have tight valves, or both. I would bet on retarded cam timing. Some other food for thought might be that what you got isn't as good as what you had for lift and duration. Just because it's an R/V cam, does not mean it's better than the cam you had !!
Good luck. mickey-d
