Well, i'm going to say it anyway. A cammed 6.0 is going to run like *** on a stock 4.8 tune. Get it tuned and go from there.

None at all. I had a mail order tune ready at the time I replaced my engine. The mail order tune was close enough for it to run very well until I could get it to my tuner and dyno tune it.
