I would say give it like 200 miles to learn, if not I guess take it back and see if they can do more tuning.

With a good tune it doesnt need to learn, it should run well straight off. Id take it back.

I agree with the others. The BLM (Block Learning Mode) will take a few miles to re-learn everything. But as stated, having it tuned now will fix everything immediately.

Very nice cam specs by the way!

Give it a couple of days. You might want to check and see how it runs with the ac off/on. Mine doesn't like to crank with ac on. Drive it around, see how it runs and tell Jeff. They are good people at RPM and will work with you till your happy. Thats why I suggested you take it out to a local track and make sure you like your shift points and it also lets you see how she runs full throttle.
