A 600 HP power adder is overkill for this engine, but that is another story

I know this is silly, but you did check firing order 18436572
Drivers side front to back 1357
Passengers side front to back 2468

I have also seen cams boxed wrong and you end up with a 4/7 swapped firing order cam...so the firing order becomes 18736542...but I really doubt that would happen...??? grasping at straws here...do you have the tube the cam arrived in ?

How smooth does it fire when at idle? Does it want to shake itself all over the place?
Aussie, either you have to slow down pushing send or I have to speed up. It feels like I'm generally a couple minutes behind your posts with a similar idea...
