It is relatively difficult to hurt a stock engine by running too lean without a power adder. Actually "lean" is fine, right at stoich is the most dangerous because it is the hottest. Keep in mind stock tuning has a 60s delay and a 5000rpm delay before it will give extra fuel.

The plugs look very rich. You need tuning
Thank you for the info. I have noticed that delay you speak of, never did before the cam though. Will the cutom tune get rid of that? Its sceduled for tuesday. I cant stinking wait!!

Yes, your tuner should fix that. If you want to get your own interface and/or want someone to tune it remotely for you so you can learn let me know and I will get you taken care of

Ditto.

With a 4.8 and the cam you chose, it will be hard.

That cam will need to see around 6800rpm or so to make max power.

Ahh, we will have to wait for the results. The tuner will not allow me to dyno it with my stock pushrods. #1 they are to short, #2 they are weak

I know, i should have known better, but my budget couldnt support it at the time. In the grand scheme of things i am glad though because i would have just got 7.4" pushrods not knowing any better. With that being said, do you guys know a good/cheap place to find quality 7.425" pushrods?
