UPDATE - I've been driving the truck everyday now getting back into my normal routine. I must say i'm really enjoying this cam. My truck has never pulled this hard on the top end before. It almost feels like i added a 100shot to what i had before. Very comparable to what Dewey's truck felt like pulling from 50mph to 100+ with the 75 shot. I'm very impressed. (Thanks Richard!). Surprisingly the cam hardly needed any tuning at all. Some minor idle tweaks and its running good. Obviously it needed more fuel up top but thats about it. Also, alot of people have been asking lately what i consider to be "up top". I consider top end to be 4500 rpm +

I also must let everyone know of my new found power down low. Its what we all like to call throttle response! But i can't give credit to the cam or the blower for this. Dewmanshu is the wizard who made this grand disovery. Thanks to his tuning expertise (seriously) he was able to diagnose a tranny setting issue that was causing poor peformance off idle, which i thought was a throttle response issue, which turned out to be something in the tranny settings which i'm not at liberty to say because it will make me look stupid lol. So, to Dewey, thanks bro, i love you man, and i couldn't have done this rebuild without your backing. You are the wind beneath my wings.

I'll have to get a picture of it. There is a small "window" the gauge has for the zero and needle points at the very bottom of that zero "window". if that makes sense....

Let's just say all the power in the world feels like **** in too high of a gear. It's all good, what's kool is Hotly lets me goof with things and tweak, where as most people expect a person to send one tune and have it all nailed down. Once we get it to downshift correctly at WOT, this thing should be pretty solid besides a small amount of idle tuning. Nothing big though.

I am blow away at the build man, you guys pratically built it from the ground up.

Grip, I am still suprised at the 122, I was expecting to see higher boost levels. He is usually (kpa/psi converted from scanner) at 8.5ish. I guess it is more of a "how quickly it builds boost". Which btw, the kpa graph when he floors it INSTANTLY hits 16xkpa. LOL It's like a vertical line, it look sjust like the TPS graph.

I also made some changes to my TCC lockup/unlock settings.

As far as the building boost quickly, i think sometimes i'm at full boost without even going WOT LOL. Its insane!

I have the 3.0 pulley on mine and am seeing 7.5-8.0 pounds of boost at wot. I thought I would see more too out of the 122 but it builds boost instant.

I've never thought myself or anyone else for that matter would see a large increase in boost pressure, rather, an increase in the blowers ability to be spun faster. The newest eaton rotor groups like to be spun up quite a bit from what I've heard/read and to a lesser degree, the HH 3 lobe rotor group as well.
