Dusty, I'd like you and Henry to ride in my truck and figure out if my cam is what's killing me down low. Henry thinks it might be the cam.
Told you too big Dawg.

Bring it Dusty! The 4-hour trip at varying speeds will be all the break-in miles you need. Don't be a Frenchy or a Froggy and Freaking Frig out!~

Well a little update. after a few small issues with trannys falling and trucks dropping off jack stands, she is finally on the road...

I got about 80 miles on hear, the ve, table is close but I'll wait until the engine is broke in before fine tunning. it feels way way strong above 3000 rpm, but I haven't when much above that.
The plan is to drive like a grandma for 500 miles, then let the engine see 5-6 psi of boost, from time to time. then after 2,000 I'll se what it thinks of more boost...

Not much to see. Everything looks pretty much stock other than the new pcv set-up...
