You'll definitely need a tune for the MS4! The MS4 should pick up a solid 20-25 RWHP over the 224 that you have now. It could certainly be more, but that's just a rough estimate. Whether or not your current 224 tune will work for a while with the MS4 will depend on if it's a six-speed or auto. It could have a chance of working if it's a six-speed, providing your idle is high enought (~900 RPM). If it's an auto, it could be hit or miss.

Feel free to give us a call with any questions or concerns.

i drove mine on a m6 for a week on a stock tune... it will learn to stay alive when coming to a stop but would drop to 200rpm then work back up... and it would surge under 1600rpm but its VERY doable.. i dd like 20-50 miles and i was fine.

I went from a 224/0.581 to the MS4. After a bit of street tuning I can even tow a trailer with this cam cruising at 1200 rpms. Only thing now is I'm runnning open loop mode with Maf and liking the tuning changes

He was asking if you have an automatic trans or a manual. If you have an auto, then you are not as likely to be able to drive the car on the current tune.
