let me help you guys out with the lfter thing. when I did the swap in my T/A I went to kragen and bought small metal brake line and cut the rolled lip off it and made it about 3 inches longer than the motor then just turned the stock cam until I got the metal line in both sides, worked great cost is like 5 bucks.

i put the gt2-3 in my truck and just roatated the cam twice to push the lifters in the lifter bores. they never had a problem and were secure. my friend pulled his 6.0l that had 80,000 on it and we screwed around with the lifters and the holders and those things were very very snug. i wouldnt worry about a thing.

Ok well I just got back getting the truck tuned I am puttin down 396 hp @ 5500 rpm and 399 torque @ 4850 rpm this is with a 2.9 pulley I am seeing 8 lbs of boost and 12* of timing. That is a 40 hp gain and 48 torque over the old 3.1 pulley and stock cam
