retune
Just a question, if my current set up consists of Novi 2000, meth, headers etc and I make 581rwhp now, and I went ahead and just install a blower cam with the presant tune what results would I achieve, or how would the existing tune work with the cam install? Would I gain some, or could I actually cause damage?

No not trying to skimp just that if I throw in a cam lets say tomorrow by the time I get it to Jersey for a tune just was wondering if damage could occur. Would damage occur driving normal or only if I lay into it?

Im betting it will run just fine, wot or not... Blower cams are usually not as big s NA ones.. If you have a wideband, just what it.. Remember, the tune on the car not does not sound like the OP did hit himself, so it was a "tuner" that did it, so im sure it was done on the super safe side anyways.

You would be able to drive to a shop to be tuned, but stay OUT of boost. You may have some bobbling idle going on etc, but you can get it to your destination.
You have a stock bottom end and your making a lot of power, there is no room for error.

Doug knows what he is talking about here. So for sure stay out of boost. Plus if the car is a stick car you will be better off keeping the car going over a auto at idle..
