Just don't let it idle on tickover too long!

So when do we get to se the vids of the car on the road
Thanks for the tip, the engine is used with a new cam. There are alot of varying stories over at LS1tech to do with cam swaps, so I'll take what you said make sure it gets broken in properly.

I'd say the car will have it's first shakedown runs in about a month.
