Default Help....TR224!!!!

I am thinking of going with this cam and I also run a TNT 150 shot. I will have no programming for a while and was wondering if I can use the N20 without programming?

I have heard of some people running rich at idle, but top end going very lean. What do you all think? Thanks for the help. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I would never spray a car without some hard numbers on the tune (ATAP, wideband....)

Im no pro, but i would DEFINATLY NOT spray with that cam and no tuning. I was running EXTREMELY lean with that cam, I was worried bout blowing my motor even without nitrous. I wouldnt try it man, just pay the extra bucks for tuning and save yourself some headaches

Would a TR220 be a better way to go? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Even stock.

Well, I guess if I decide to go that way I will have the air/fuel ratio checked on a dyno. That is the main thing, right?

Then maybe I would get it tuned later.
