I put it back together over the last two days and started it this morning. After a short test drive and fixing a loose connector, I got the trailer ready, hooked on and towed it home through 90 miles of semi-crappy traffic.
The cam has made quite a difference. It builds boost at a much lower RPM now, the throttle response is much better. Where I used to kick out a chunk of smoke that was mostly but not all due to the rings, now there is a small puff. I am sure the new reman nozzles have something to do with that.
The cam is noisier at cruise. The engine sounds more like a VP44 24 valve now, with a distinct crackle that was suppressed by that timing overlap.
The rings did a great deal of breaking in during the initial cam break in. You run the engine at 1800 RPM for 20 minutes, and even after it warmed up we kept giving it less and less throttle to achieve the 1800. The Smarty Touch has pedal position as one of the options. IT started at 15% and dropped down to 5% by the time we were done.
As predicted 60 MPH is right at 1600 RPM with these tires. It is lugging with the trailer on with any grade, but rolls nicely on the flats and downhill. It shows a marked increase on the MPG gauge, but that is only for the "feels". I will do a proper observation after break in is done.
