Putting a relatively big cam in without dyno tuning, is similar to doing a heart operation on yourself without a surgeon being present. NUTS. The handheld tuners may have some attributes with baby cams, however you never know where you are really at until you do a dyno tune with broadband afr.

My buddy who has a 2002 is buying HP tuners. We're going to check the a/f ratio to see if it's where it needs to be. I plan to get a tune soon when funds come available.


What duration is too big with stock cube,headed motor?
Where's the ceiling?

A friend and I just finished up a Comp XER 242/248 .610/.615 111lsaAFR 205's milled .034 with Cometics .040. Cranked it up night before last , idles so smooth it's scary. The car already has tuning from a 224/228. We also installed 30# SVO's. The car will be dyno tuned this Tuesday, relying on a handheld is asking for big problems. Do a search.

Depends where you want to shift, what your setup/COMBO is and how you want it to drive. Seen the T-rex? 242/248 on a 110. You're getting up to 7,000 rpm, need serious converter and/or gears to match and even I wouldn't want it on a daily driver/only vehicle though.
