did you get new valve springs? then yes you need a slight break in,

what cam? dont' go WOT, its always a good thing to get it tuned

Just heat cycle the valve springs a few time, dont take it over 4k RPM until you get it tuned!!!

Well, asking me, I say wait until you get it tuned to get on it....run the car for about 500 miles, and drain the oil, check and make sure theres nothing unusual in it.

Now me? I installed heads, a cam, full exhaust, had 11.3:1 compression, and never bothered to get a tune....because for some reason, it ran fine lol
