Default Tunning "NEEDED" after MS3 install?

Is a tune a must right after cam install? Or would it be ok to drive it around a while before a tune is done? The car was tunned after i did all my boltons.

just send your pcm into tsp and have them do a mail order tune until you are ready to do a full tune.

Yes it is, especially on a big cam like that.
Do not go WOT without tuning, that is where most of the danger lays.

Yeah, I have had a good experience with my mail order tune. But she is a lil bit fat. Leaves black marks on the pavement out of the exhaust...

The previous owner to my car and I ran a tsp231/237 untuned for several months. The only problem I found was that when I went to get it tuned the plugs were fouled.
