You are probably gonna have to datalog to get the tune finalized. My truck did that after the cam install until I went and had it tuned. It took the tuner about 3 tries to get it to idle decently. We loaded a tune, went and datalogged, made changes, tried again and then finally worked out the VE and timing tables.

Probably so, the efficiency tables are probably way off. Get it dynoed and then try it again. Mail order tunes can work, just don't count on a perfect one right off the bet, the tuners are having to make a lot of assumptions.
