get em ported and polished before you put em on. that will really make a difference. you will notice a huge improvement.

You'll notice a difference when you just do stock PI h/c/i, doesn't have to be ported

After swapping the heads, cams, and intake is a tune really necessary?

On the stock cams/intake ported heads arn't going to make a huge difference, espcially just a mild port on otherwise stock heads (stock valvesize etc).

RE: I got offered PI Heads, they worth it

I've heard from some people that a tune isn't needed, but from other people a tune is needed. I've heard of people driving their cars for months or even up to 2 years without a tune. So far,I don't have a tune and it's been about a month, but I've only driven the car about 100 miles. Just trying to break her in right.

What would happen if i run the car without a tune, will it run like crap or will it damage the motor?

You won't get maximum power, it won't pull as hard during high revs, and it'll have a higher/surging idle during warm up. It's nothing bad. Your car will re-learn the idle part.
