Nick probably is a super nice guy. No doubt, fun to have a couple beers with.

The build wasn't his, someone gave it to him and said "do your best". Fine.

It's just his approach to the dyno session that's perplexing. I can understand unexpected things happening. But it seems like all/most of the problems he had were things he should have easily anticipated/prepared for.

Also, as far as the cam is concerned, for him to install it properly, wouldn't he have to have the cam card and therefore know if it's a "RAIV" cam or not?

That's fine. It's all for fun.

My take is someone in the shop was given an engine and a cam to install into it. The cam matched the specs on the cam card and all was good. They did their job and may not even know a 066 cam spec from an 041 cam spec.
