Would this hurt?

I have my heads and cam waiting to be put on! Would I need to wait on the tune due to the cam and heads cause im pretty sure it will jack with the air ratio blah blah. But I know I could be wrong

[blueguy]

Yup...youz needz a tune

I honestly wouldnt even want to start it without a "base" cam tune...

[SlowM90]

Ya, thought so..but was praying I was wrong! LOL The parts are just sitting....all nice a purrty! LOL grrr tires!!!

[blueguy]

LOL You can start it for S&G's with the cam...I aint guaranteeing anything but it MIGHT not live too long

LMAO

if youre not knocking then who cares if you have a tune or not. beat on it.

a tune will just make the most of your setup.

[SlowM90]

well i gotmy wideband and i have the EFILive hooked up...but it just scans..rmm well would ithurt to put the headers on?

[Bio248]

headers will just make more breathing room for you. what are your plans with this car?

[DWosik13]

dont **** up like i did got a new engine beat on it a couple times with a new cam in it and no tune thought id be ok went and got it tuned 0 kr running perfect and three hours later it blew up

something else was wrong then. you cannot blow up a motor when it isnt knocking.

[SlowM90]

Plans..just something to play around in. I have my "fast" car. Just want a quick DD with the mods im putting on should be in the high 12's well...if I can launch right! LOL

[DWosik13]

no i had 0 kr after the tune but i what i think happend is the bottom end got damaged before the tune i had no scanner so i had no idea if it was knocking or not so i think even after i had that tune the engine just couldnt handle it anymore

if you have heads and a cam then headers are almost necessary. after that there isnt much left unless you want to go intercooled, but if all youre looking for is 12s then youre set.

[SlowM90]

Ya lol I know that . I really dont wanna put alot into it because I still might do the turbo set up. But with me going off to work im not really going to have much time for anything! Working FOR sure 6days a week 12-14hrs a day!!!

Well the only thing you need to do for a cam is increase the idle (some do some don't) and a MAF tune. But that's about it. You could get away with it but just don't get on it a lot enless you know what is going on knock wise.


You'll need more fuel with the cam. And your trims will be off.
