I'm having Ford install my hot rod cams on monday...does anyone know if these cams can work properly without additional tuning? All I need is to drive the car for a week until I can get some dyno tuning done at the local shop...anyone have any experience? thanks

i think you'll be ok for a week or so... you
may have to raise the idle rpms to 810
or 850 and your idle may be a little
unstable, but other than those minor
issues, i think you'll be fine.

Yes you will be fine without a tune for a while you just wont get maximum performance.

I guess I had it in my mind that I needed to do a phaser mod with these cams...I'll just have to keep it away from WOT until next week when I can get time on the dyno....thanks
