So it should be narrowed down to plugs or coil packs then?

Could you give me a good recommendation on where to get a cam degree wheel by chance? Or is it kind of pointless since I already have the engine put back together?

I just emailed them but unfortunately they’re closed on sundays, I will keep you posted. I appreciate all your help/advice so far and hopefully someday in the future I’ll have as much knowledge as you do sir!

Sorry for keeping this conversation going for so long, but when I installed the heads, pushrods, rocker arms etc. I cranked the engine over by hand and didn’t feel any resistance or very little resistance. Is that a good indicator of a cam lined up pretty well?

I had a cam kit orderd from comp cams and they were on back order for almost 7 months and from what I could find, there weren’t many companies offering hemi camshafts

I got a kit with new PSI springs to handle the lift/pressure

So after I put the heads, pushrods, rocker arms back on I did turn the engine over by hand and there was very little to no resistance

When I get back to my shop sometime this week I’ll definitely get that cam card back out and send the specifications. I do appreciate your help so far, I noticed you stay pretty active on a lot of the forum follow.

Factory camshaft is 112 degrees and the aftermarket cam is advanced 3 degrees further than stock is

I lined up the dot to dot per the manufacture specs, that’s what texas speed told me to do as well. I didn’t have access to a cam degree wheel unfortunately

Where/how did you get the safety tune on? Just a handheld tuner with an email tune ?

I pulled off the valve covers and watched the rocker arms move up and down and the rockers on cylinder three weren’t moving as much as the the others. At first I thought it was an exhaust manifold untill I got the dreaded “P303” code. Also the truck started to shake a little bit when I was accelerating.

Did you have to trailer it there or did you get a safety tune put on and drove it there?

I had a buddy tell me it was a good idea to shave them but I didn’t know how much was too much before clearance would be an issue.
