I believe you will WANT a tune immediately after installation. I just installed a torquer v.2 which is slightly larger than your cam on 112lsa(slightly smoother idle) and on the cam I have it said computer tuning required for automatic cars only. Well lets just say the car WILL NOT idle without me keeping it running. It is extremely hard to turn/brake/and keep the engine running. Runs fine going down the road. Luckily my car is being tuned this monday, but from my experience I would say that you do not need to drive it without a tune. And especially since this is your daily, it may run lean or if it stalls while turning (which I had happen myself) it can cause an accident.

I had to drive mine for about a week without a tune after we got the cam in. I caught a ride with a friend to and from work for a couple of the days though. If you have any other options, try to take em. But if you have to, just DO NOT go wot. It will suck to drive. What made you chose the reverse split?

Yes is get a tune adap, but in till then, you can give your throttle closed screw a turn or so to raise your idle little.
Until you get it tuned you will be running rich at and around idle and lean up in the higher rpms, so take it easy until tuned

Bolt your strut tower brace in, and cut a peices of 1" square tube steel long enough to lay on top of your strut to strut... get two tiedown straps and wrap them around the strut brace and around the the square tube and bolt them into the larger bolt holes on your heads....now you can drop your front crossmember and get to your pan. Pita, but better than pulling the motor
