Default Hot cam and more

Ok i have what is in my list below plus i have just added Hot cam kit, headers, 3400 stall, and little head work. I deleted the AC, AIR, EGR. I wont have enought money for about 2 maybe 3 weeks to get a tune. So i was wondering if it will hurt anything by driving it around untill that untuned? I really want to get it back out on the road and cant wait bc it has been about 4 months since i have drove her. So i was just wondering if it would hurt anything by doing this???

It won't hurt anything, it just won't run very well.

I would suggest you load Datamaster. It will allow you to collect 20 free data files. If the cam and other mods are not having any severe trouble, knock or lean condition you will be fine. If there are problems you will know and also the files would make tuning the car easy for any one who knows how to tune.

I would suggest buying TunerCat GREAT guy to work with and an OUTSTANDING product!

Good luck

I STRONGLY recommend you tune it yourself. There are many tunes on line that match what you will pay a mail tuner to do.

I have a couple mail order tunes that are so FAR off a first timer will easilly match. And yes they are from the two 'Best' tuners from here and other locations.
