If I do the head swap, do I need to get the car Dyno Tuned after? I live in Canada and [OK, don't laugh!!] the closest place to get a Dyno Tune is 8 friggen hours from here. I was thinking of ordering the kit from Parkway Ford, but I won't if I have to get a tune . Or, can I tune it myself with a Hypertec Programer?

No you wont need to get a tune. I got mine tuned but I only run on performance tune when racing the rest of the time its on the stock tune.

Not required but helpful as you add more mods. Try an EEC reflash (adaptive tune). Check my sig.

Thanks slvrbullIT!! I don't mind if I'm down a few ponies b/c I don't get the dyno tune, I was just afraid the swap might turn my perfectly good car, into a slobbering pig, if I didn't get the Dyno Tune. I would really like to hear how your sct flasher works out.
I checked out your garage, Nice Damn fine rwhp # too.
Thanks again for the info!!
