doesn't lane do nice work?! he did mine too.

you will most likely have to work at keeping it idling, and starting without holding down the throttle probably won't happen, but off idle will be fine. not a problem for an M6. that's a hella cam, i don't have that much in mine. how far do you have to go? it will throw all kinds of misfire codes too. btw, you really don't need to "break in" a roller cam, that's old school non-roller applications. i'd like to hear it when it's done. should sound yummy, especially with that exhaust.

The car will run - some run better than others. You will likely have to give it gas when you are coming to a stop sign/light, or anytime you push the clutch in as it will try and die on you. However it will be fine - just semi hard to drive. Hell my car is running on the stock tune right now with some TEA big valve S2 5.3 heads and a 235/239 big lift cam.
