Engine flooding after cam swap

I just did my cam swap with 01 heads and it is running pig rich I will not be driving it till I tune it but I took it around the block and I noticed I lossed a bit of oil pressure . I dumped the oil and there was a lot of fuel in it .

I am sure the tune will fix this but it there anything I can do to help it I was going to bring it to eastside but I am in NY seems like a long ride to take a chance .

Oh it is an FM-13 112 and it will idle ok

the tune will fix it, you can help it by not driving it til it's tuned, and get it towed to your tuner.

Did you put valve seals on? Did you put them on correctly? It's probably the tune in really bad shape though.

How can a bad tune cause fuel to get into your oil? The two should never come in contact, should they?

unburnt fuel can slip past the rings into the oil. it's not too uncommon in an untuned engine.
