I was just wondering, is a PCM tune really required after installing LT's and a ORY? I live here in England and I'm like 1 of maybe a dozen Camaros here in this country so I would be pretty a$$ed out if I had to go somewhere and had to find someone with LS1 Edit to tune my car. It would suck if I had to cause I would have to wait another 2 yrs before I could install them once I get back the the states, unless anyone knows anyone in Europe that does tuning for GM cars over here.

Thanks

Its definately not required but it will free up some power. Many people run rich after a header install but save their tune money until after a h/c swap. If it's a pain in the *** to get a tune where you are, don't bother with it until internal work.

 

Thanks, that would really blow if I had to wait until I PCS back the the states! By then I should have the money for a 383 or maybe have this one blown!

No tuning needed , instal them and enjoy!! How do like it over there, I was at Upper Heyford in the 80s, theres curvy roads every where!

 

Upper Heyford aye? F-111's? Yeah, still got the curvy roads but the M-1 and M-11 have nice long stretches for miles now. But for the most part here at Lakenheath curvy country roads, I hate the carrot trucks. Its good to hear that I won't need a tune. I'm trying to get a hold of JackZ28 in germany. I think I remember him saying there is a tuning place there close to him. I would like to get a h/c package and have them install it but I think he is deployed right now. Thanks for the info

This is completely Off Topic bu since you guys are familiar with this.... What base can you 'Hop' to that is the closest to london?

 

RAF Lakenheath or RAF Fairford. RAF Mildenhall is closed for a new runway. Lakenheath is only 70 miles north of London compared to 200 miles at Faiford. Thinking about coming over?

 

Yeah, got a buddy in London i want to visit. Can only afford it if i can Hop in there. Sounds like i may be able to get close and maybe take the train in or something.

 

I have headers, cam, pulley, intake, etc.; and the car has been running untuned for 8 months. It is not a necessity.

 

Wait till you get a cam.

SSCAMARO99_3 A tune is recommended even if your car is running fine because you will get much more power out of it. It seems like a big waste of money to do all those mods and not tune it and be losing so much power.

 

The car has been sitting all winter. It will be tuned shortly. It pulled 381 rwhp/373 rwtq untuned. I would like to see 390/380 or better with tuning.
