Those cams are going to require a dyno tune. Without them a canned tune will get the job done, but you need a professional with the car in hand to get the idle and all set with those cams.

rent a trailer and a truck and tow it there. I personally would not drive it there. I have never done cams and whatnot, but the fact that you will need a dyno tune makes me believe that driving it an hour would not be advised.
