hahaha, have fun with that one. i've never run the x3, but i can just imagine a cam that big on a stock tune. you'll prolly need to fiddle with the throttle body screw a little. shouldn't be too bad as long as you stay above 2k rpm.

i ran mine untuned and it ran ok, i dont have heads or anything, just the cam and all the bolt on's, it ran alright, but it ran super lean because my maf was cloged when i dyno'ed it .. so i'd be careful
