Default TSP Torquer 2 , plus some other questions

ok so me and my buddy are both looking at this cam and we have some questions, 1) are the 918 springs still being recalled? 2) with this cam i know its best to get it tuned, however would it be ok to drive without a tune? 3) would it be possible with the mods in my sig to get at or near 400 horse? any help would be appreciated

1)i'll stick with the dual springs for extra security. my friend had an ms3 cam in his z06 but he uninstalled it and put his stock cam in, but he left the dual springs in and he never had a problem with them.
2) i drove my car without a tune for 2 weeks with STOCK injectors on and it didn't hurt the motor. I just drove the car like a granny untill i got it tune. My tuner recommend me to get some svo 30lb injectors but for on stock tune, keep the stock injectors and then upgrade them to 30lb while getting tuned.
3) dynoed 407rwhp 372rwtq i have almost same exact mods as urs minus the p/p tb. but i do have underdrive pulleys and have a catted y-pipe

the 918s are fine. They had a couple bad batches but I believe the problem's been fixed. I installed my torquer 2 w/ 918s about two months ago and no problems at all. You can drive it w/o a tune but it'll run rich as hell! I have bolt ons to include an U/D pulley and made 400.7rwhp to the wheels through 4.10s. If you have stock gears you'll see around 412ish.

Id suggest the dual springs too. I dont trust 918 anymore. Dont drive without a tune. Stock injectors will be fine. Yeah, you should be able to hit 400.
