s.c or sct is a must with ho cams. I ran 2 weeks on the stock pcm, i went with sct and blew me away, s.c will give you similar gains over the stock pcm with ho cams.

and why i say a must, you dont NEED to have a tuner, but to unleash the power yes. the motor will run fine w.o a tune.

click my HO CAMS info in my sig for more info and videos
