Default Should I install my pacesetters?

I have pacesetters on the way along with an ory. I really don't have the money for a tune. Should I wait until I have the money for a tune or is it ok to install them now? What would you do?

Install them now. You'll be fine on a stock tune.

I've had mine for over a year now, just added an LS6 intake about a month ago. Runs awesome even without a tune. I will tune when I put my cam in.

I would assume you'd be fine, however you will gain more power with a tune.

Really easy to do(at least on my car). Please, do yourself a favor and get on it!
Get a tune when you can afford it. It is not going to be detrimental.
