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?

I drove mine without a tune for a couple of weeks. The first pull on the dyno, both my tuner (Seb at SpecialtyZ) and I could hear/feel some detonation especially when looking at the A/F and power curves. I feel that everyone should get a tune after installing G3s, but I did it because I wanted to have 100% confidence in my car and having the chance of losing an engine over a couple hundred dollar tune seemed a bit silly.


I also gained at peak 5whp/14ftlbs after the tune, but I gained so much more under the curve especially with torque.
