Ok, so i have a v-afc on my 5th gen. Ive read our cars tend to run rich so i thought i take my car to a dyno t tune it now. I have intake, exhaust, and some other little stuff. Some people say i must have cam gears to tune some say i do not have to have them. What is true and whats isnt any info would help.

no, take it and get it dyno tuned.

i got i/h/e/pullies and a vafc. im putting her on a dyno soon.

 

save up and get some skunk2 stage 2 cams and skunk2 cam gears and upgraded valve train...then get it dynoed...

 

^^^^^Ooooooh Ooooooh^^^^^ 200th post!!! WOOOOHOOOO!!!!

 

Personally i would wait until i got all the bolt ons that i wanted on before tuning it. Everything that you add is going to change things i would just wait so you only have to tune it once.

 

well im going turbo come warm weather, whenever that comes..... So i thought just get it tuned for now and then see where i am come turbo time?

 

just keep in mind you'll need completely different settings on fuel and your timing when you have a turbo application, if you dont mind forking out 100 bucks go ahead and get it tuned so you can squeeze out a couple of extra hp.

 

You don't have to have anything on your car. I got my vafc tuned when my car was stock, and it was well worth the $30.

 

dude get it tuned. yes you will have to get it tuned again later when more stuff is added. but is you ask the guys who have never had a problem with their cars vs the guys who have. i would bet that the majority of the guys with problems didnt get the car tuned after the added parts. they just waited till they added a few parts, then tuned. dont do it half assed. tune it after each mod. you will get more out of it and it will last longer.
