Well I'm used to the "normal" I95 pain in the *** traffic....anything special this trip, I'll count on Waze to prep me for / guide me around. I won't be in any rush - the Ram isn't exactly an autocross machine, and with a 24' trailer dragging behind...I won't be doing anything in a hurry. Slow...
I worked for a large engine builder. We had 3 wet spin stations. Every long and short block got hooked up to a warm 45psi oil supply and spun at 800 rpm. We adjusted valves and checked compression I can tell you that without an oil pan or intake the amount of oil spun up on the cam was amazing.
I've read, here on site, that excessive idling is not good but that was intended to mean 700-800 rpm idle and then turning the engine off. Like you stated 2000 rpm long hauls at 70-75 mph are common and have had no ill effects on my cars.
Iron surfaces "work harden" with time so that will most likely explain why after a break in period cam material can withstand lower oiling conditions and survive.

Do you think there is any credence to this QS oil being excellent for a flat tappet engine? And possibly break in procedures being done improperly thinking it was the way to go for all these years? Is the oils high film strength a reality? Its amazingly high in PSI. Maybe this blog shouldn't...
