I plan on tuning after the cams. I figured it was pointless to tune before, since it's perfectly safe from what I've read. And yes, I know I could make more power from a tune, I just haven't gotten around to it.

He only knows what he dyno'd at, and what stock RSs generally dyno at at sea level. He compared it to what he's seen, not one particular dyno sheet. So I guess I meant around what they dyno, not at. Sorry.

Basically what I'm getting at is that with an NA motor, tuning is not nearly as necessary as it is for turbo'd subes, from everything I've read. I was wanting to learn how to OS tune myself, but I just never got around to it. And in order to make sure it's running right after a tune, I'd have to buy a bunch of gauges and pods for them.
