Yeah you will need a tune. You should do a tune after a cam install and especially since you are putting on bigger heads and lt's. You can find a tune shop around you or look into ls1edit or HPTuners. A mail order tune is always an option but an actuall tune is what you should shoot for.

you went all wrong about your mods, should of got the TC first and gears. also dont install the stuff until you have enough money for a tune.

I drove my car when I got my cam installed and it ran ok. Tune helped the idle a lot. I can't say as far as the cam and heads. I would think you probably need to get it tuned. It would be ashamed to mess your engine up after you installed all those parts because you didn't get a tune.
