This is what I thought as well but I had concerns with what Christian370z said below...

Intake - Needed (Have K&N's and MAF tubes right now, waiting for full intake)
Pulleys - Check
Oil Cooler - Check
Headers - Check
Exhaust - Check

Last mod needed before tune.
Thats what my plan was as well.

After the tune, my A/F ratio was nice and safe across the board, the car ran smoother and I picked up another 5whp.
This was my main concern will the engine be safe as a daily driver with the G3's and no tune until I get the other mods mentioned about and tune it which could be months???

Who has had any issues or detontation running the G3's with no tune?

How long have most of you guys been riding your Z's with G3's and no tune?
