Tune or no?
Well ive been running my jdm b16 II stock for a while till i had some money come in and i bought an aebs manifold, hytech replica header and i recently found out the engine had itr cams when i took the head apart. Im running the stock p30 ecu but with all those mods will i be running lean and should get it tuned asap? or will i be alright and should get it tuned eventually to have a perfect or close to perfect a/f throughout the rpm range.
b16a second gen
P30
ITR cams
aebs mani + cai
hytech header and 2.25 full exhaust
tune right away! or it can wait since it wont run lean
Thanks guys!

Re: Tune or no? (jord18)
This is a rhetorical question, right?
In a forum frequented by tuners, I wonder what the consensus would be?
Speaking as a tuner, tuning is highly undervalued by many consumers. That is, until they see how well their car can run when properly tuned

the cams are enough of a change that the stock ECU is out of it's league. Tune properly and enjoy the performance increase.
You may be able to drive on the stock P30 for a little while if you REALLY have to, but do not floor it, and keep the RPMs down. (basically have no fun)
