Give it time, a T-rex DOES NOT have the proper PTV clearance. let the valve springs get a few miles on them and the stock lifter get weak quick.... you'll find out.

How much power did it put down? I have tuned a Trex, ported head, fast intake M6 GTO. They honestly don't drive as bad as you would think, but its far from an ideal cam for a heavy gto. No torque below 4k, but with a 4k stall it's no problem.

a guy named dustin from main street customs, its who tunes all of pro 1 autosports cars, him and sam and the whole tuning world in dallas know eachother. he did a badass job and made it real driveable. i havent really driven it alot after the tune due to weather but been out a couple times in it, waiting to get my oil changed. yes i had to go get and oil pump ring for him. he said go to 10w 40 valvaline syn and a wix oil filter.
