It's the redundant and simple things that'll get you everytime.

Patience when putting the last of the engine back together, grasshopper.

I told you it wasn't the IAC

I'm just glad you fixed the problem.... Same thing happened to me with my header install. I could have swore up and down that the wires were correct. Turns out that 2 were switched. In fact I believe they were the same wires as you, lol

glad to see you found the problem... we crossed two wires on the passenger side (I believe it was 4 & 6) on mine when I did LT's so that was my guess to the problem you had.

Damn Joe, thats a big cam! I didnt read the whole damn post, but here is my guess:

Crossex plug wires, or rockers adjusted to tight (valve lash adjustment). I heard the comp R's are real finicky andlike to be right around zero lash! JMO.
