Confused, Please help

Everyone i am getting my underdrive pulley and tsp 224r cam put in next week, i dont have the extra money for a dyno tune, so what would be the next best thing? Ive heard of people doing pulls on the dyno macine... do i wanna do that or just get a basic tune, all i want is for the car to run right after the cam install, i cant afford a 450 dyno tune, what should i do?

Wait until you can afford proper tuning, your not completing the puzzle, you won't be satisfied.

with that 112 lsa you will need a tune, aside from a dynotune which would be best, unless you have an editer I dont know how you would get by. The lsa is to choppy for your ecu

Your cam is pretty much like mine, I ran my cam for three months with no tune and on stock manifolds. Your definately not going to be getting a whole lot out of the cam untuned, but it won't hurt anything either. If your tuner is pretty cool, maybe you can get them to just make sure your your tune isn't way off and dangerous (i.e. too lean). If you were an A4 I'd say don't waste your time get the tune, but at least with an M6 it won't stall out on ya. BTW - the tune got me 25hp and 20 TQ.
