Alright now I am really wondering... I am positive you use the silicone on the headers because it said too... but is it ok to use it on the gasket where the O2 sensor goes?

I loooove it

Sounds great I think... and the camshaft... headers... and new exhaust did add a little oomph hah... I can now be in overdrive and go 80 lol... before when I put it in overdrive on the interstate it would only go around 75 and keep dropping... now it can stay steady around 80...

Sooo all in all its a real good improvement... the headers did already change rainbow color because we had to run it at 2000 rpms for 20 mins...

Besides that snap crackle pop noise and the automatic, it sounds good.

I actually like my automatic thank you very much... and so do a lot of other people for that fact... but I really didnt ask for peoples comments on that now did I ...

And I actually think the "snap crackle pop" sound is just because the camera was right next to the 4Runner and it amplified the sound... because otherwise I have never heard it before...

Other than that thanks for saying it sounds good

Just got the chance to check out your sound clips and wanted to say that it sounds pretty good!
That's a pretty mild cam you've got in there, huh? Other than that, the only other thing that was immediately evident was that the valves seemed to have some play in them (like superjoe83 mentioned) that you'll want to address ASAP so as to not mess anything up with that new cam by bending a valve by accident due to excessive play.
Other than that, make sure that you don't get overzealous with having the cam and start cracking on it before you've clocked at least 3,000 miles on it to make sure that everything's seated itself properly, o'kay.
Lastly, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
