Yes, DDSLT5 runs them.
They are nasty. I think Pete can get it to run good with his tune.

Even though Stage III's could be tuned to drive nice, I would suggest smaller exhaust cams you won't loose peak HP but will gain a bunch low & mid range.

The big inch motors we have here peak over 500++ RWTQ both with small exhaust cams (.224 .420)
these are smaller then Stage I exhaust cams (.228 .415)

I would suggest Stage III intakes with Stage I exhaust.

Take example Ted Demps 415 with the LPE B cams (.239 .440In .221 .410Ex)

All 3 cars here in IL drive like stockers in traffic,long trips,grocery store even church.
