Me tooo, i am really excited to see what it will do!
I wont need it for awhile because it is going to take several weeks to get the new cam and I want to test out my new heads on my current cam, so I will just get it from you at our next track GTG...

just read this, i know those heads are going to help a ton, not too sure about the smaller cam since you do state you want track times. i'm really interested in the intake though cuz i might get one if it helps your 4.8 any.

Corey, should run awesome. I think you'll be putting a good hurting on a lot of cammed 5.3's with that setup. It's nice to be able to work with someone (Ed) who is actually an airflow engineer and provides winning grinds. Go tear it up 
I'll have my Ed Curtis cam installed here hopefully next weekend.

This is the description of the power range for my cam, he put on the Cam Card.
This camshaft is designed for naturally aspirated, high torque applications
CHECK and verify rocker arm geometry and lifter preload
This is imperative for optimum performance of this camshaft
The power band is roughly between 2800 to 6000 rpm for 292-323 CID
Gear the vehicle accordingly
The preferred valve spring pressure is 135# -140# on the seat
Use only quality valve springs with performance locks and retainers
PAC Racing 1218 or 1518 beehive valve springs highly recommended
Hardened, heavy wall push rods required for valvetrain stability
Ported cylinder heads required for high RPM performance
Long tube headers and free flowing exhaust mandatory
Custom EFI tuning required for maximum performance of this profile
