I just finished putting a cam in after discovering I had a few bad MDS lifters that we’re beginning to tear up the old cam. I went with a comp NSR stg 1. Surprisingly I didn’t have any bolts left over when I was done with assembly and the truck actually fired up. I gotta stop there and thank everyone on this forum for all the shared knowledge and wisdom. This site was a tremendous asset. So thanks to all.
So now my question. The cam instal pretty much wiped out my budget. Even with doing the labor myself, there were a lot of unanticipated purchases throughout the project. I know the cam requires a custom tune for the truck to run at peak performance. But will it hurt the engine to run for a couple days with a stock or canned Diablo tune. I don’t mind if it drives like crap for a couple days but I’d jump of a bridge if I did something stupid and ruined all the work I put in.
