Default f14 on a stock tune

Is this possible? You know, i see so many posts on here about guys driving their cars with larger cams on stock tuning. I just installed mine and have to wait till april 7th before i can get in at futral for a dyno tune. Will this hurt the car if i drive it? Car will barely hold an idle. Just dont want to hurt anything

If you send me the pcm i can give you a starter tune on it untill you get it dyno tuned. We only charge 75 bucks to do that and it should be very close... Alot cheaper than an engine that you mess up from not setting it up...

We even sell seperate pcms fully programmed for only $159 shipped and you can keep your original.

Wow, i wish i had know you guys were that cheap to begin with. Everyone else charges like $450 for a mail order. I have a dyno scheduled this fri. Then whats the deal i see all these other people running larger cams than mine on a stock tune? Arent they destroying their cars?

They may or may not be destroying thier vehicles. It just all depends on alot of things and also if they drive it a lot. It could be really lean, or really rich.

One good thing about going to a dyno is that you get to have your vehicle looked over for other issues and flaws on the engine. So a vacume leak or missing plug ect, or even a bad spring can easily be seen by your tuner to let you know there is something wrong.
