Default Will a T1 cam w/o header and tuning run ok???

I bought a T1 cam, and want to install it without tuning because headers will come in a few months. Will the car run ok without headers or tuning? I plan to install headers in a few months and will get tuning then. Right now I dont want to get tuning and have to tune again when the headers come. Will The car run ok for a few months? Thanks

I ran my 6 speed C5 like that for about 3 months. The main problem is surging at idle. I had trouble with it dying with the AC on.

Same here. The car ran awsome though. Pulled 381rwhp with stock heads.

Similar result with the C1 before the tune.
Hey, A98W6, is your car A4? If so, you're gonna have a helluva time getting that thing to run untuned.

I'm going C1 without heads/headers (at least for a while) i hope my M6 can cope w/o a tune...i'm kinda worried but most folks seem to be able to run a 222/222 566/566 (and larger)w/o tune, at least the threads i have read indicate this.

No trouble with cold starts. Hot starts are moody on hot & humid days w/ the A/c on.

The C1 would not find idle when it was first put in. It took some minor tuning with the diablo to get it streetable. A final dyno/edit tune hammered all the bugs out.
