Jersey,
I woulnd't stab the cam in until you are ready to fire it. You are going to have to put lube on the lobes so it doesn't spin dry the first time and you don't want that to run off of them while it sits. To ensure better life for your cam I'd prime the oiling system and remember to get oil with the right amount of zinc in it (or put a bottle of break in lube in the oil, that is supposed to work) so you don't damage it right from the start.
Did you go with Alan Grove? If so, don't forget to put some time into your schedule to paint the brackets and let them dry- AG ships their stuff bare so you can finish it how you like.
As for power, maybe around 275 at the wheels given 20% drivetrain loss.
