You probably cannot use this to run the Kelford 179-B camshafts. The 179-A camshafts are significantly different from stock but will still run on a stock map (though you lose power until you tune them). The 179-B camshafts will lose even more power and cannot be tuned to outperform the 179-A on a stock motor. You need the extreme flow that you can only get from serious engine builds to warrant 179-B camshafts (like bigger pistons AND revs over 9k). At least that is what I was repeatedly told (straight from Kelford) when I was researching camshafts.

I would think that the aggressive nature of the 179-B cams would be too extreme for this tune (and you might even have valve strike as this tune (safely) uses 40 degrees intake advance on the 179-As which could be too much for the 179-Bs. Almost certainly you would not make power on the 179-B with this tune.

Yes because your exhaust manifold and catalytic converter is going to lower your volumetric efficiency and ultimately your power potential. Because you will be restricting the inflow more than this tune is expecting you will be running too rich, which is completely safe but bad for power and economy. So drive it easy as to save gas until you get it tuned to lean it out because you won't be making any impressing power gains until then.
