Default HEADERS AND TUNE........

If I put LGS OR KOOKS (STILL UNDECIDED) will I have to get a tune? I will probably do cam 6 months, do I really need to spend the money to tune now? I dont want te car to run bad.

Thanks :cheers:

Not really sure, but I was running a tad rich after adding Kooks headers and an aftermarket air intake system. My A/F's were ~ 11.5. The car ran fine,but wasn't making as much power as it could. I went ahead and had the LS1 Edit done, even though I'm adding H/C this summer and will require a retune then.

It's only money. :jester

No... I put them on, gained 30 rwhp and 31 rwtq, didn't get a tun and run w/ a 11.5/1 afr @ WOT. I'm sure I could get another 8-10 ponies w/ a tune but don't want to just yet, b/c I might get a cam soon.
