Wait, you have all that stuff, or are those your "FUTURE PLANS"??? If thats all you have, I'd wait on tuning until you do something more drastic.

you didn't make clear whether you have those or are planning on getting them.

if you already have them, then you need a tune.

I would say that most people on honda-tech that make threads such as this are referred to as "DREAMERS".

As ivtec stated, if you have cams, you need a tune, regardless of what other things you are going to do in the future. Without a tune, you aren't making good use of those cams.

i'd reccomend waiting for a dyno day and getting a dyno baseline, so when you do start putting stuff on, you can visually see where you started from.

Honestly I would at least put it on a dyno and see what your making before this stuff is on here. I know I would like to know if I made any gains or not before i throw **** on there. If you already have this stuff I would tune because you have cams and your not making good use of them currently. Also uh...I hope you dont plan to do all this work yourself if you think a short shifter has ANYTHING to do with tuning.

Its not about whether or not he should dyno for a baseline. The point is that he has cams in and he needs to tune it now. Running the engine untuned could harm, potential detonation and other timing issues.

Lets say he does have cams, I guess we all know he needs to tune, but he never posts back to his own thread to tell us what he has...

I have the following mods...

AEM Cold Air Intake
Evo2 Full catbak exhaust
AEM Pulleys
BLOX Short Shifter

My bad if I got all of you confused, when I wrote it, it came out as I wantand it to. But then I realized that my mods and my future mods got combined. I havnt written back cuz my laptop is at Circuit City getting fixed and Im rarely home to use the house computer... Peace
