I am about to throw the LS6 intake on along with a 226/226 .585 .585 112 cam & comp 918 springs on the A4/SS. It already has the usual air lid, headers, duals. Anyhow , how bad will I need a tune and if i dont get one will it hurt the car or just gas mileage & idle & performance ? ? ?

just get it tuned and don't worry about it.

With an A4 you will stall almost everytime you put it into gear. When it doesn't stall you will be lacking a good bit of power that you could have, bad gas mileage, destroyed plugs and o2 sensors. The list goes on.

how much did you have to spend on the tune so i can guess on how much i will have to put to the side and what about getting it somewhere will it at least be able to get where i need to go for the tune?

im in the same situation right now....i got the T-rex settin here in my floor(still dont know if im gonna install it or go with another one) but when i do i am hopping to GOD that my Crane Power tuner will tune it good enough to drive for a few weeks...hahah

im pretty confident that it will...a buddy of mine drove his magic stick for a few months almost everyday untuned its just bucked and surged on him alot at a roll...but he also had a M6 though

yo man, let me know what you end up doing for a tune i got a cam and exhaust going in early march and am looking into tuning. i talked to howell(hojo) and he said there are some good places up in NC that are great for tuning now as far as getting there... i was thinking prob drive or get a uhaul trailer thing.

but either way let me know what you decide

i put an hpe s cam in a 6spd vette and it doesn't run like ****. of course it will get tune when ever i have time, but otherwise it's ok.

I did a small cam and I'm running it without a tune. It does die at lights at times though...and probably doesnt run half as well as it could.

Basically it needs a tune..I"m just putting it off until I get my new heads and LT headers installed

you will need a tune,the car's factory tune will change. your car will either start running lean or rich and stalling. a tune will make the car run like you never changed a thing,just alot more power.

I got a tune here in missouri for $200 dollars
fron a very respected tuner. I haven't raced it yet but
but there is a tremendous feeeling of more power.

Vette's idle easier though since they have an electronic tb.
