Welp, got the car dynoed with the new cam and lifters. With everything else the same, I gained about 100 hp, making 531 rwhp and 544 rwtq. Needless to say, I'm pleased. Come the end of the summer, I'll have the smaller pulley installed and hopefully I'll get 600 at the rear wheels.
Right after, I started my drive home from Colorado Springs to Boise, Idaho. Everything was going well, 10mpg gas mileage, until around Green River, Wyoming, I hit a piece of metal on the road and it put a 7 inch gash in the gas tank...I just filled up too. Anywho, stayed there a night and $800 later, I had a new tank and was on the road again. No more issues after that.
Going from 7,000 ft altitude down to 2,500 ft also provided quite a kick in the pants. Its crazy, I can't get any traction in 1st or 2nd gear with 3.08 gears whereas before I could only get the tires to chirp.
Just thought I'd share.
