is it unsafe to install 280/272 cams and drive around for about a month untuned on an ix?

Car seems fine, I drove around untuned for 4 months but I never pushed it past 5K.

 

It might not run the best but it should be ok. I wouldnt drive it very hard though.

 

now i would be the type to push it...would that cause a problem

 

Hi: I drove my VIII around for a few months with 280/272´s, big IC, cam gears, O2 hsg., but just kept the boost below 18 PSI while I had my piggy back out for repair. You need to be conscious of engine knock though. That´s why I kept boost low. No irreversible damage AFAIK.

 

i did very few runs with the cams untuned.. now my ECU is sent to AMS .. it's taking time like a week or so, but i think it's gonna be worth it
but it's not recommended to stay untuned, better pay for tune, rather than paying for a motor ..

 

It will be lean. Stay out of boost when/if possible until you get it tuned. It will be fine to just drive around but dont beat on it.

not recommended, but you can probably get away with it. What other supporting mods do you have? Do you have a base tune for the supporting mods? If so, it'll probably be fine. If you have no tune at all, and all the basic mods PLUS cams, watch out!

 

no tune... just tbe, intake, upper and lower icp, boost controller

 

I'd stay out of high boost if you can control yourself

Could be a fun month, but an expensive one at that!

 

i ran my whole mods on my Signature with no tune, more than 4 months, but it aint much of a daily driven, still on 5k Miles
