Okay, FINALLY got this done! Work has been crazy the past few days... Keep in mind it's raining hard and I've only driven it about a half hour total since I've picked it up from the shop. That being said...

My setup before the cams/NOS: Stillen intake, flowmaster single/dual system, removed the clutch fan and have a flex-a-lite installed, 35x12.5 BFG-AT's

I had the cam/crank seals, timing belt, ac/alt/ps belts, Tensioner Stud, Tensioner Spring, thermostat, Water Pump, cams (256/425), lifters, and all gaskets replaced. Also had NOS (p/n nos-05130) "wet" system installed. Filled the NOS tank (10lbs). Total parts and labor/tuning(not including cams, lifter, and NOS kit) $1587.94

The cams - My first opinion is a good performance and overall driving mod! I do notice a bump in power. The butt dyno is telling me about 10 real HP (not like an intake 10hp)... maybe a bit more. I know my driveline is robbing me of a ton of power. On an X with smaller tires, it would be even better. It's not a huge gain but a noticeable one. For the money spent, I would have expected more but I knew that going into this. Knowing what I know now about this mod now, I would have gone with a bigger cam. The power is right where I wanted it though... in the mid rpm's somewhere around 2K-4K. It's put my truck back to a drivable vehicle. There was mention of the change in idle... The change in idle is not noticeable at all. You really have to listen to notice.

The NOS is exactly what I expected. I have the 75hp jetting. It is a lot of fun but I'm using it sparingly right now. I went through the gears once and it was fun to say the least

I'm keeping this short until I have more drive time with the truck.
