Do not run that motor on the stock tune. It will run pig rich and run a chance of washing the cylinders.

Thanks guys but I got in touch with him, going to have it tuned before I try to start.. I just dident know if it was safe to start or not. I know soem guys run for a short while on upgraded cams w/o a tune, and me knowing squat about tuning figured i'd ask lol. Thanks though guys. This weekends going to be bright and sunny, should be doing the swap then!
