Installing cam need help tuning

I put an order in for CC306 / pac 1218s / pro mag full rollers NSA 7/16.
Now to the question, what do I need to do to start it safely and break it in?
will it run good enough to set it at 2500 for 5 mins or will I need to adjust for it right away? I haven't bought software yet(but have the cable) so another question is what software is better.
Thanks Daryl

what do you guys and gals do when you put a cam in with stock tuning? or should I just get a tune from PCMforless?

Get a tune from pcmforless. They will get you a good tune until you can afford a dyno tune, if you even need one.

If you dont have anything to tune with then I would do a mail order then have it dyno tuned.

I have free tips especially for aftermarket cams on my website. More timing advance is the biggest difference maker.
