What would this procedure be used for? cam swap/bolt on mods?

How much can the stock computer take without tuning?

This would get you running good enough to get the car to the tuner but if you install a cam with much less lobe seperation than the stock cam then you will definitely have a rought idle.

Bolt on mods like air intake, or LS-6 manifold put on a LS-1 engine (simple things) should not affect the idle
