Last night was the start up ran it for 25 minutes between 1500-2000rpm. Now i need a tune then we will have some #'s and track times As far as a video goes i'll take some but i'll need help with setting it up on the site. I will try to get video of it idleing on monday or tuesday. I can't wait to drive it and feel the POWER BTW even with my old tune this cam idles at about 1050-1100 rpm and it sounds nice, Can't wait for a full tune

Good deal! I did the same thing this weekend, I installed my FFHP 408ci, & it sounds like a beast. (straight headers) I know exactly how you feel.

as far as breaking it in i was told to run it for 20-25 min between 1500-2000 rpm and then i could have it dyno tuned. What i would like to do is to be able to drive to eastside for the tune which is a hundred something miles away then have it tuned. Kinda in a rough situation with it needing a tune i do not want to drive it to much but i would like to get some miles on it as well
Z'mnypit, congrats on your motor
