Bakersfield lulzzz..
Yeah drive it untuned bro dont even worry about it. Honda added a seperate fuel map for people who are going to add Blox stage 2 cams later on down the road. Also, make sure you red line every gear.

and spray nitrous too huh arthas? dik, i was asking if i could or not. honda did add a separate fuel map which is in limp mode. Ive heard people run stage 2 cams untuned without a issue but only heard.

Re: do i need a tune
Why are Honda people so cheapp?? Everyone wants to create more power without getting a tune... I wouldnt even think about installing cams without having my tuner available for an appointment.
Dont come to me when youre fuel map has a nasty hole because thats why youre unloading in third.

Make a list of all the bad things that can happen if you drive a car with stage 2 cams, on a stock ecu. Then decide if that list of bad things outweights coughing up $300-400 for a chipped ecu and tune.

Re: do i need a tune
Q: can i change cams and not tune?
A: NO! there is no single part of the engine that effects vacuum more
Q: can i change the intake and not tune?
A: yes but fuel pressure will need to be adjusted on a wideband to get the AF right, even then you should have a tune done to address timing changes in the map
Q: can i change compression without a tune
A: most the time no but small changes like half a point can be done
Q: can i change my exhaust without a tune
A: yes but even with this there is often a couple hp in tuning
