Default Cam installed, tunning question

th 224/224-112 cam installed and just a port job on the TB

Do I need to take the whole car in to be tuned or can i just send out the PCM to be reprogramed?


there isn't a good tune shop with a dyno within 200 miles of me.




Thanks

a mail order tune will never be a good as a real one
go drive 200 miles, ONE TIME and be happy with it

would it be safe for the engine to run it that far with a fresh new cam?

just dont beat on it and it should be fine. and the cam isnt a big cam so it shouldnt give you any problems.

I drove 4 hours to have mine tuned with the same size cam with no problems. Dont waste your money on a mail order tune and just get it done the right way the first time.
