Default will i need to be tuned when running itr cams in b16a3 with I/H/E???

ok i can get a set of 98 ITR cams with jg cam gears for cheap. my questions is if i was to put that in my b16a3 with just I/H/E would i need to tune it or would it still run ok with stock p30 ecu (by not harming my motor). i know that by tuning it, it would make the cams run at it's full potential but i dont have money to get a tune for now.

Then why do you want to mod the motor? You will have better results from just tuning the car as is, then putting in the cams. As far as money spent goes.

I ran ctr cams in my b16 and gsr without tune. It runs just fine. But you can gain more from tuning than dropping them in. I just don't have money for tuning. It just like having a ctr or itr motor running on stock ecu.
