Default Intake and Long tube header install

Just curious how necessary is it for a tune after long tubes and a intake manifold being installed? Cam is gonna be installed a month or two afterwards and Im wondering can I wait to get it tuned once the cam is in or do I need a tune immediately afterwards?

You should be fine but just for clarification, what IM and LT's are you going with? I ran mine for a couple months with the LT's and a couple days with both IM and LT's and it was fine but mine are basic. If it's a ported fast and 1 7/8's then it might be an issue but if it's just basic ones then I wouldn't worry about it

You will be fine. It will run a bit fat, but just avoid lugging it and keeping it in low rpm's for an extended period of time. If you do you run the risk of fouling the plugs.

^^ This ^^

When I took my catback apart to convert to a MagnaMouth, it was VERY sooty on the inside. It wasn't before the TSP LT install. I know this b/c Obviously I took it off when I installed the headers. Gas mileage sucked also.

I ran like this from November 18th - March 12th, so right at 4 months.

Funny you say that, bww3588, new plugs are going in next week......
