Default b1 cam tuning

I'm considering buying a B1 cam. Will I need tuning on this cam? Mods are listed below. Thanks.

It will run without tuning, but to get the most HP and driveability out of it you will want tuning. If you really don't want to do PCM tuning, you can drill the TB plate hole slightly larger and/or adjust the idle speed setscrew.

You definitely will want to get it tuned.
When I have my cam installed, I was not impressed until I had the tuning done. Cam, Headers and tuning picked me up around 80 RWHP.
Headers - 20 RWHP
Cam - 30 rwhp
Tuning - 30 rwhp and 30 rwtq
