my plan for my car is this, i/h/e, skunk2 manifold, itr cams with itr valvetrain, skunk2 cam gears, and all other stuff needed for that cam set up.. my question is on a basic estimate how much do you think tuning will cost? cuz i'm not sure if it will be ok to run my cams and such not tuned.. I kno i'm prolly missing information but can some of you guys just throw out a number? thanks guys

 

I would say tuning is gonna make a big difference, don't put the intake manifold on to you get cams, you won't be making any more power. Sounds like an alright setup, as for power you should be past the 170whp mark. Get a port matched throttle body to compliment the intake manifold. Tuning is key, try a Hondata S200, they are pretty good. Cam timing is really important, so for a few hours dyno time it might go anywhere from 300-600 for 3 hours. Those are the rates of places around me in Jersey. Good luck.

 

i had the exact set-up and made 170whp on that setup. I used a vafc and fpr. It only took me 1 hour and about 7 runs to get my a/f to be a straight line around 13.5.13.7 range.

 

thanks guys for the help!

 

If you are anywhere in the MD/WV area i can tune it for you if you decide to go with a vafc.
