Default Tune after adding milled LS6 heads?

The only addition to my cam only car will be a set of milled unported LS6 heads (62cc). Would the car need to be re-tuned? I figure I could still drive the car around, but will it drive like crap?

It will not drive like crap but to get the full potential it needs retuning.

Thats what I was thinking since the heads will be moving a little more air.

could also have some issues with detonation due to increased compression.

would be unlikely i think...but still possible.

Im sure she will run for you, but I wouldn't go trotting around town abusing her. The milling upped the compression, you're flowing more air too. Get a tune. If you don't have the money, start saving. Lol
