Yes you have to get a tune as part of the cam upgrade. They typically run $400-500.

Ummm... I think he said it was already installed. He also said he planned on getting it tuned.

I can get your idling ok and basic tuning. I haven't fully learned all the fuel portions yet, but will get you where you need to be. It will only cost you the amount of the license. Completely up to you though.

I can't really discuss it on here because I am not an official sponsor for the site. If you want to discuss it more, pm me on SCFYB. I was referring to popocamaro for the cost of an HPTuners's license. I have 2000-2002 and his car is a '98. So he has to pay for the license if I am going to mess with his tune.

i have a comp 226/226 114 trust me... tune is a must. I would assume that you can drive a m6 without a tune easier than an auto...... my medium cam sounds like a bigger one when the idle is set at 800 vs 875 or higher.

you will like the cam! great low end torque.... i went with a SD tune.
