ok this is the setup i want to go with this summer, PI swap but do the VT stage 1 cams. now my question is will i need a dyno tune before even driving it or would it be ok to drive it to the dyno which is three hours away. also what kind of power can i expect with this, i may do LT's during the process as well. that all depends on money though. thanks

You do not need a tune with Stage 1 cams.

I asked this question to Scott at VT Engines and he replied that you do not need new springs or a tune with the Stage 1 cam.

He did say that while a tune isn't required he recommends getting MPH (or someone you trust)to send a custom tune if you have an SCT X-cal as you can get some extra hp from the cams. I do not have a dyno in my area so the X-cal is the only way for me to get more from the cam install.

yeah its definately not NEEDED, but if you want every bit and piece of hp out of it get it dyno tuned

there is a guy near me that tunes with a diablo and a dynojet dyno. what do you think is it worth it or should i drive 3 hours away to get it tuned with SCT

take it from someone who HAS stage one cams, you can drive it without a tune, i drove mine for 2 weeks without a tune and it sucked,but you WILL need one, the car runs like complete garbage and the idle is unessisary, i was literaly afriad i was gonna snap a motor mount at idle, trust your gonna need one asap, no questions

yeah i will get one right after the cams and other stuff is installed.
