Adding Aftermarket Parts

[KaMaKaZiPyRo]

When you add things like cams, cam gears, headers, and all that good stuff, do you have to tune it?

[knorwj]

headers no, cams and cam gears yes

[KaMaKaZiPyRo]

would it be a serious tune like a turbo or could I just do it myself

[Ace$nyper]

yes and no there

best to get a real dnyo tune in but you can half ass and just up the timing till you are happy
*not good just alot of ppl do that*

[KaMaKaZiPyRo]

alright, but when i get it dyno tuned would I add the part, then drive it w/out a tune to the place to get it tuned or tow it there, or just add it at the place I get it tuned at?

technically, you dont have to tune it, but itll make more power/run better if you do. if the car can run with the part in then just drive it to the dyno.

alright thanx

yea its a good idea to tune it when you get internals.. not as much with simple bolt-ons.. i would take it to a trustworthy shop too

like you were saying, its not as serious as a turbo tune, but it still would be a good idea to get it tuned, its something you can do yourself with like a fpr
