To tune or not to tune?
I recently picked up an VIII with 77k, mods are TBE, hks intake and cam's 272's
I hate the way the car idles and sometimes feels like its gonna stall out. Car never was tuned by previous owner. My questions are
1. is this current setup hurting the motor with no tune (car does run pretty rich)
2. would it be more worth putting stock cams back in, or just getting the tune
basically if I spend the money to tune it, I wanna know if this thing will idle near perfectly and all around run smoother? It will be a daily driver and I'm not looking to make tons of power.

he stated hes not looking for major power goals and a crappy idle, so i would take the cams out and put them back to stock, if he doesnt mind then by all means keep them in TUNE and ENJOY!

I don't plan on adding anything engine wise, and the only reason I would consider going back to stock cams is if the tune wouldn't fix the idle. If you guys are saying it will then I'll schedule an appt asap. Who's the best experience and price wise to tune somewhere between PA and NJ
