untuned cammed A4 question?
It can be done but it takes some getting used to. When i did my cam i drove it around for like 3 month with out a tune. I drilled out my throttle plate which fixed it a little bit. I think that what causes it to die out is the IAC can not compensate fast enough just my opnion. My cam is a comp cam 224/228 581/581 on a 115 LSA hope this helps.

yeah if u plan on going anything near like what i have it will definitely require some two footed driving, but i also had an untuned stall at the time so mine could of been worse off than just a cam untuned.

It won't idle, coming to a stop can be a bitch. Since you have the stall, just keep your foot on the gas to make it idle
I drove 50 miles on my TRaK cam (mostly highway thank God) to get to the tuner.

yeah def. watch it when you come to a stop..almost definite it will cut off. aslong as you 2 foot it you should be ok... hope its not stop and go, but highway driving should be ok.

Seriously though, provided he raises the idle some, and keeps the A/C off, he should be fine...

It ran great at 70+ mph, but died everytime I came to a stop. The long drive "killed" one of my O2 sensors which had to be replaced before I could tune.
