Well guys! Install is complete!!! Motor sounds great! Truck drives like a dream! Cam sounds incredible...much more noticeable than I had thought it would be. Required minimal tuning to catch idle, and safely drive around. Goes on the dyno this week for the WOT tune. Will post those #s as soon as I get them.
I did run the truck at our local 1/8th mile track Friday night BEFORE THE NEW MOTOR WENT IN for fun. Keep in mind, this was done on a HURT motor. Yes, it drove there and drove back, but I do not believe it was at full potential, so we will not be using these numbers as reference to the new setup.
Only made 3 passes but each got progressively faster. At 7000 DA
, truck went a best of 10.92 @ 65mph (1/8th) on a 2.5 60'. Sea level corrected, it shows 9.82 @ 71. We'll see what it runs next time out and correct those numbers as well, to get a general idea of what it picked up.
Also, I got flow numbers back from the machine shop this morning.

Went and did a little driving last night. Still putting on break-in miles. After almost 100 miles since the swap, it is getting 16.4mpg average. This is mostly stop-n-go city miles, with maybe 20-30 highway. This is still un-tuned!!! Truck runs like a dream, very very happy with the cam selection. It could use some converter, but its not something you would HAVE to do.
Once I get a good camera, I'll get a walk-around vid up, so everyone cam hear the camshaft.

Need to get some more miles on the new shortblock before I feel safe hammering on it. Hope to get it on the rollers before the weekend tho!
