Need Tuning? TR224 Installing a TR224-563-112, Spec Stage III, Yella Terra's, FLP LTs, etc, etc...On a '99 M6 TA. Going to have it dyno tuned with ls1edit at somepoint, but wondering what kind of shape I will be in without tuning?
Thanks

Re: Need Tuning? TR224 less than you will be with, for sure. Tuning will make it drive better too, idle better, better gas mileage.
I'm insatlling same cam then driving 160 miles for tuning. This won't be till perhpas August, but If I remember to post before/after, I will.

Re: Need Tuning? TR224 I am running the tr224 with 112LSA.....idles fine, runs fine (rich as you can see in my failed sniffer 
) But other than that I have no driveability problems, even in traffic. Gained about 21 horse without a tune, and a friend gained another 20 from a tune on the same cam...so for full power get it tuned, but if its a cash thing (waiting to buy edit) then it should drive just fine without tuning. PM if you need anything else.

Sometimes the screw is too short so people take it out and put it in the opposite way so the head is holding the TB open a little farther. Another option is to drill out the hole to let more air in; do it one drill size at a time and check the idle or you may go too far.

Re: Need Tuning? TR224 My friend has a Comp 224 and he drove around for about 5 months without tuning. He has an M6, but it would still stall out every once in a while, and you could tell that the stock rev limiter was really holding the car back.

Re: Need Tuning? TR224 Thanks for the info 
Probably going to have everything installed--break in the clutch and have it tuned within a couple weeks.
Larry, would you like to wait for my ported oil pump and adjustable timing set to show up before I send everything out?

Re: Need Tuning? TR224 The 224 on 112 can cause a misfire engine light which sometimes will load the cylinders with fuel causing gas washed cylinders.I have only seen this a few times and alot of people don't get it.
I would highly recommend getting it tuned ASAP.I mean you buy the Cam,so why not have it run a 100%??
