I dont remember his name, very nice guy tho.
I will be doing a converter aswell, most likely a yank cause I still tow alot with the truck. I will call them and see what converter they suggest.

It will make enough to turn the Irok's, that's all that matters. If you strap the big truck on the Dyno you're going to see 30+ rear wheel horsepower loss compared to another guy who has the same cam in a stock truck with stock tires. The 14bFF and Irok's will take a great toll on the rwhp dyno numbers.
As for the flywheel increase, probably 25-30hp and 10-15lb-ft of torque. If your tuner is worth his salt you may see a little more.

Thank you.
It will be stapped to a dyno as my buddy owns a Mustang Dyno.
He was in the world pump gas horsepower shootout and came in 3rd with a blown converter so he knows what he is doing when it comes to tuning

Have you looked into a little headwork during this cam swap? A bump in compression will lessen the hit this cam will blow to your low end torque below ~3000. This 218/224 cam will really shine above 3000, below that however, you will lose torque...no doubts there. A good tuner will be able to soften the loss, but increasing the compression ratio will bring you back to how it is now.

I will be spraying a 100 shot from time to time tho.
