been saving up parts recently. Got my skunk2 pro series 1 with skunk2 titanium cam gears. Also picked up the whole skunk 2 valvetrain. Have my i/h/e already done. Planning to pick up my skunk2 pro series IM once i get my next paycheck. Now my question is, Putting on my cams, and intake manifold, will i need a tune asap? or could i just run off that setup for a bit untill a bit more $$ comes in? Or should i just wait till i get enuff $$ to get a tune and not put anything in yet? Also, if anyone has this similar setup, what numbers will i be seeing on a b18c1?

 

You will absolutely need a tune after putting the cams in. That is the correct way to do it.

What header and exhaust do you have?

 

which stage cams did you get?

 

stage 1 pro series cams. Didnt want anythign to agressive. Also have the Hytech replica header, no cat, and an hks hi power

 

ok not too bad.
have cams degreed in, tuned and then post results up . . .

 

i havent put them in it and i dont know if i should simply becuase of the tunning costs. I dont know if ill have enuff money for tunning, thats why i asked if it was okay to run it without gettin git tuned? If not, then i guess ill have to wait longer due to also saving up for school next year

Since you're also from Canada I'll put it to you like this. You save up and finally buy a new pair of skates, you are so excited to hit the lake that you forget to check to see if the ice is thick enough to skate on. You go anyway, you fall through the ice and both you and your skates are in serious trouble....was it worth it?

cliff notes= if you spend all that money for parts, why would you risk destroying everything because you didn't have enough money to tune it before you drove it? That's one of the most important things you need to do to be safe.

 

^^ that dude is right and cool

 

thats actually a really good analogy . . .

 

must have been really nice skates.

hahaha ok so you think that cause their stage 1's that they arent that aggresive?

honestly your car might not run at all if you "slap" them in. look up what other people have posted before on how to get those cams running good.
