Default Tuning after Cam install?

Hey everyone, I'm almost complete w/ the install of my cam (only have a few valve springs left), now is it going to be okay to run the car without a tune? I know people said not to run the FI without a tune, I'm wondering if the same holds true after my camswap. Thanks.

It won't be OK to run without the tune. Your AFR is gonna be off for sure. Most likely it's gonna be rich. It's ok to drive with no tune for a few hundred miles...just to break in your motor, and get you to the dyno shop, but in the long run it's not recommended !

Common sense man - your mixture is rich, and in the long run your engine is gonna suffer more....

Get it tuned !
