My Engine/turbo Build - drunkinmonkey - 04-12-2010
he guys i got a question
do i HAVE to get a tune for my motor with all the mods thats are gonna be on it?? id rather not get the tine and wait to get the tune when i get the turbo kit installed
will this hurt my motor not getting a tune....not much has changes except for compression....head will be stock cams and zero'd cam gears with high lift springs
thanks for the info guys

are you not planning to install turbo b4 running car? thats a whole lotta extra work for nothing..
also it is better to boost a fresh motor then one with k on it. also, you will want to get a tune b4 this thing even touches a road in 1st gear. boost wil come quick and without a tune say by by to that nice new motor

I know it's only a supercharger, but I was concerned about driving a boosted car without a proper tune (I need one with the BBK) ... so Pat at Steeda provided me with a "safe" tune that is good enough to get me around without blowing up before I get it in for dyno tuning. It's already loaded into the Xcal and ready to go as soon as the sc is installed.
