Putting back the stock cams require tuning?
I bought an evo 8 with aftermarket cams, the car idles crazy like a v8 engine which i hate. If i install the stock cams do I need to get it tuned. I appreciate your input. Thanks

a tune can fix that lumpy idle! why sacrifice power cause you dont like the sound

I agree with this. Either way you're going to need a retune, so you are much better off keeping the performance cams in there.

You will want a tune with any engine mod you do. I agree with everyone else, keep the cams, get a retune.

Adding timing in the idle area will reduce the lope.

^agree, that and you can add fuel, and increase the idle a bit depending on where its idling now.
