I would say driveable, just not Ideal.
Report back on what you find out.

Not sure how it would run without a tune, that said this cams project is not yet done...so hopefully we will hear more soon

.

I won't say anything else past that.

if it starts... it should run.. might have a lot of issues, probably it will go into limp mode. it should get better the longer it runs as the computer learns and compensates.. but get the tune ASAP I prob would not drive it more than I had to.

I've sent the request to trifecta for a baseline file and a current log. So whenever I get that back I can flash it on and run a new log. Worst case I'll schedule with a dyno/trifecta tune day or something.

More worried about potential stall and miss fire issues if the cams are too aggressive. Probably best to stay between 2000-4000 rpms until i get it resolved.

Are you doing just the cams? Or are you planning on heads as well?

Well, I still have the original ported heads sitting in my shop. I'm not in any hurry to sale them, so once you get this working let me know if you want to go the next step.

Gretchen- would you mind taking some pics for me of the runners on your heads? My new heads aren't ported as much as the "FI" heads - would be nice to see where the differences are.
