JWT cam C2 questions

Does anyone have results on their JWT C2 cams? I've seen posts but no sheets or numbers posted up. I want to install some on my 2013 with 114k miles on it, shouldn't be too bad had no issues with it and I dont plan on drag racing just a reliable cammed weekend car. But yeah overall I wanted to see numbers on the stage 2 since the first ones came pretty weak in numbers or so they say. Also what injectors and fuel pumps were matched. I was thinking 550cc or 660 and a 255 walboro pump. First build wanted it to be a 1990 6.0 chevy but I'm losing hope since it's a really far finish line even though I already have the POS truck. Figured the G would be pretty easy since I thought myself some timing chain info on YouTube LOL. We'll make it work.

There has been great progress with these cams, a quick look into many of Admin's cars have these cams and are averaging 350whp with supporting bolt ons. I'm going to tell you right now almost every person who's had these cams installed has been tuned, this will need to happen for it to be a reliable cammed car. The installing of these is unlike any engine you've done in the past. The Cam ladder assembly (AKA VVEL ladder will need to be removed).
Lastly you should plasti-gauge the cams to determine clearance. Not many folks who install cams check them for runout/or too tight of clearances. Many times you can throw a set in and let them "break in". Cams can affect clearances like throwing STANDARD size bearings to a motor (on a used motor using all same sizes one or many will be off). A $12 piece of plastigauge will offer a piece of mind that the clearances of your cams are within spec is priceless. I've ran into the issue where I've had to slightly scuff a few cam journals due to the head journals being a bit off. Again the car can do this on it's own however that will be a couple of dirty oil changes that can be prevented. Once you see the amount of work it takes to install them you'll understand.

Thanks for the info I'd assume it would all go fine seeing that I don't need to machine anything since I am on the line for having a 2013. But for the installation it doesn't seem too bad seems like it's just taking off the assembly and dropping them in. My main concern is that I have to tackle the timing. I've never done anything like and I wouldn't want to ruin it on a infinity, maybe a chevy I wouldn't mind but not on this. Plan on doing it all myself because I don't plan on spending 5k just for a cam and labor, thats too much imo. But yes tuning will obviously be present since I do plan on running a FBO on it and calling it a day. I'll probably reinstall my stock boxes since it's dyno proven to be better than the z1 intakes I got and to match it I'd get the ISR headers. Maybe even get my plenum ported idk. As far as the lower plenum Z1 has some GTR parts that can go in and it's caught my eye but I still don't know.

What GTR plenum parts are you considering from Z1?
