To tune or not to tune !?!?!
Well I just put some long tubes, y-pipe and 02 simms on my SS this weekend and I was wondering if I should have the car tuned ?
Any comments ?

if its just that i wouldnt until you get some more. unless thats all your going to do. or you can buy a suite and do it yourself. you shouldnt need it tuned unless the car is acting up though.

no, it isn't. why do you put all the 'performance' parts on it? to make it flow more air! what happens when it flows so much air that the PCM cannot compensate for it by itself? it goes into panic mode and pulls timing, which decreases performance. so adding parts without compensating for them in the PCM basically cancel each other out. so what's the point?

my post just says if hes getting more parts to hold off. paying for a tune can get expensive. if hes not going to do more than get a tune. i never said he shouldnt. thats just my opinion. many people on here have done that. its not unheard of. people drive around in small cams with no tuning.
side note
doesnt the maf compensate for the increased air?

Well I'm running a Z06 MAF if that make any difference as well as a TSP lid. But I am planning on installing a TSP Torquer Cam in about a month !! So I guess I should wait for the tune until then....
