wouldnt see why you couldnt. not like your boosting or anything. If your interested in tuning and such I would reccomend a product line called megasquirt. Running that on my 4runner and love it. have my pos toughbook in the truck, if I want more power I just switch over to a different fuel profile. Like a tweecer system, just cheaper.

you'll be fine without a tune i ran my car for 4 months without a tune. sure it wasn't running superduper but it got the job done but it won't be at its best.

You'd be fine. Unless your PCM is going ape shit over the cam, get a tune when you want.

I chose to tune because I wanted the most out of my combo.

I ran my 347 without a tune with no issues

the SN computers only struggle when people half ass the job and don't fix the existing problems... then they blame it on the cam and ECM

The SN95 pcm has issues with Vaccum. If the Vaccum on the cam is wild, the pcm tries to catch up with the vaccum which is why the idle goes nuts.

Depends on the cam you choose...I would research what cam works well with those heads, and go from there.

The TFS Stage 1 is a great cam, as well as the Crane 2031. Even the E cam is a good cam....the profile is damn close to what a TFS Stage 1 is.

my 347 has very good street manners.. the only thing that makes me NOT want to drive it often is the manual steering

I just think you can do MUCH better than the craptastic E-cam and other FMS cams

I have seen an E-cam in a blown, TW headed 89 GT make 570rwhp.

You don't like the TFS Stage 1 cam?
