Is there a good book to read up on all this stuff, performance wise?
I dont want to bug ya'll with too many questions.

there are quite a few available on amazon.com such as Will Handzels book How to build high performance Chevy LS1/LS6 GenIII engines, Dyno Proven GM LS1 thru LS7 Performance parts, HPBooks Chevy LS1/LS6 Performance by Christopher Enders. There are a few new books out that I don't have yet but thats my library.

Cool, I will look into them.
I did find this article that vaguely answered a few questions I had about cams ans installation.

i got the gm hot cam in my truck, and im rolling on 35's. i pull a trailer regularly that weights in about 6700 lbs, and it has no problem pulling that trailer with this cam. it actually gave me more pulling power that i felt, especially on the high way. i used to pull this trailer doing about 70, but now i cam pull it 85 with no problem.
sounds safe...

Yeah sure...
That is an OK online guide. I don't need it for obvious reasons but I followed along with another guy here when I went to help him on a swap and it seemed pretty good. The only weirdness was that it was an F car or something and not a truck but the trucks are far easierest to work on.
I was just saying i can tow it up to those speeds with ease. i made it sound like i tow it at that speed constant speed, i usually do 75 when i go on trips with the trailer on.
