Yes, definitly needs to be tuned for the new cams. Also, compression will play an important factor running those cams....i hope your running at least 11.5:1 with those cams.

ahhhhhh nah man, bc 3's are a great cam to begin with. There used by many with untouched bottom ends and are great power makers and provide good midrange power. But I would look into a spring/retainer combo and a tune. Ill give you the benefit of the doubt that you'd tell us if you were throwing any cels.
