I dont beleive you will have a problem with that cam in an M6, but tuning is recommended for any cam car , a good tune is always able to squeek out an extra 10 to 15hp.

I agree, just want to get an idea if I will be able to drive it same day, since it is my wife's car. Until I get the tune done or buy the HPTuners setup.
