Default If I go to a larger cam will the current tune run ok for awhile???

I have the cam in my sig and Im finally serious about going to a bigger one because this one is too small. Now when I do the cam swap I wont have the money to have it tuned for a little while so will my current tune run ok?? I can handle a little surging and idle searching at redlights but I dont wont it to run so bad it cuts off and sputters or anthing. I plan on switching to around a 246/250 .610/.620 110 or 112. I really dont know about the LSA yet, Id like a 110 but Im spraying so I think I have to go with a 112. Or would I be ok spraying a 225 shot on a 110?

It should run decent when its warmed up. You may have some cold start problems. Driveability should be OK.
I would go with a 112LSA for the gas.110 may leak off too much.
just my $0.02

Thank you for the reply. I dont want to change it if I cant drive it without a tune.

I would not do it.
I've suggested this a thousand times:
TUNE SHOULD BE PART OF SWAP BUDGET
It is not a matter of will it drive or not, it is a matter of proper fueling. Go rich and you foul plugs, coat your internals with carbon, wash down you cylinders etc... All bad.
Too lean, well we all know what too lean on top will do and then

So wait until I can go immeadiately and tune it? What about driving it to a place to tune it with the cam in it? Closest place is a good 6 hours from me.
