Tuning
Hey guys just got a small cam install, ls7 exhaust manifold and a base tune so I was wondering if I should wait for my cold intake before tuning. Currently, zip tie because I'm waiting for my batwing. I just can't wait to really drive the car. With base tune I was told not to drive it hard until I get dyno tune. Appointment with Church this coming Wednesday.
Thanks in advance

SOME RECOMMENDATIONS!!
FINISH all your MODDING before you get the car tuned! ANYTHING that you do, can effect the final tune
IF, you are getting the car tuned,, I STRONGLY recommend installing FRESH NEW Primary O2 sensors. Also CLEAN THE MAF with MAF cleaner before the tune.
This will give you the BEST tuning results.

What cold air intake are you getting, if it is a VeraRam or Callaway type wait until you install it before tuning. Also, you may need need to compensate for idle and decel on the tuning to make it comfortable on the street. True outside cold air changes the the density of the fuel/air mixture and that is where both intermediate and full power performance increases are realized. Without the tune you run the risk of running too lean.
