Will Someone Please Let Me Know If I Should Tune My New 280 Cams!

I Was Wondering If Someone Could Tell Me If I Would Gain Anything By Tuning My Cams And Gears, It Runs Alot Better Since I Have Had Them Installed But The Nearest All Wheel Dyno Is a Good 5 Hour Drive, So I Had Them Put In Yesterday Here In Oklahoma, HKS 280/280 With Fidinza Cam Gears Set At Zero, And ARP Headstuds, Please Let Me Know Your Opinion, Thanks

It Will Be Tuned ASAP. I Have To Drive This Ruff Idling Car Over 275 Miles To Do It But It Will Be Worth It According To Your Comment.

Its Safe To Drive Mine that Far, I Would Think???? With It Being All Ruff Idling, But On Highway It Sounds And Drives Okay

oh yea its safe to drive, i wouldnt recommend running at WOT all of the time though, until you find out the air/fuel ratios

also, if you dont want to do the 5hr drive, you could get a wideband and tune your car with the safc, or just get a flash
