That cam will not drive completely stock it will have its quirks, but overall it is a very well mannered camshaft.

They are referring to the BTR 220 Cam. I believe it is his wife that takes care of the inquiries, not the tuner himself thats why it says "im probably missing some stuff too" Im no expert but it sounds like a good setup.. I am strongly considering it.. Is there anything else i should watch out for? Opinions? By the way I was also told by the stealership a year or 2 ago that my oil pan gasket is leaking ever so slightly and was quoted $1300 to replace it.. so that would get taken care of.
I mean for all the work going in with the parts and stuff the 4800 he quoted you originally sounds pretty good. Depending on your budget with the motor that far apart and the fact you are going to need a tune I would have him port that ls2 intake and possibly do the high side lt4 pump and injectors...and slap a e-85 kit on it if you are ever going to possibly run e-85. I guess it depends on long term goals, if you are going to boost on it later I would probably forget messing with the injectors cause you are going to need some more fueling stuff at that point. If you are going to keep it NA that even if you aren't going to upgrade your low side fueling now you will have all the high side stuff in place and not need to tear into the motor again.
