My A/F was way off with intake, test pipes exhaust ... now it sits at 13.1ish the whole time at WOT... So to me it was worth it and some what neccasary...

Correct me if im wrong but the people who had their a/f ratios off with all the mods were all stillen g3 owners.. I believe youll be fine with the injens as they are tuned for safe a/f ratios.

If you are getting headers or test pipes, you should get a tune. That's all....LoL
Other than that, it's useless to get a tune.

TT and SC is a different story...

I got a few HP/TQ by plugging this in. The code was super long to punch in.

Honestly, I don't think those three mods will lean out the car enough where it will be a big issue, but then again, thats my opinion. It doesn't sound, from your choices in mods, that you are very tight on money, so if you CAN get the tune, definitely do it...someone else had very good results with it.

The Injen intakes are "A/F ratio safe" ONLY if you use them on a stock car (with stock exhaust components). Since the OP will be running a CAI with a catless high flow exhaust then you definitely need a tune. My suggestion is Uprev in this case.

I'm curious, to those of you who have full bolt ons without a tune and saying he doesn't need one, have you done any dyno runs to verify that the AFR is within a safe range? Any datalogs to check the ignition timing?

My G has an Injen CAI, Invidia HFC and Stillen CBE. My AFR @ WOT without a tune is right around 14.0-14.2. Several runs with a datalogger showed that the ECU kept pulling the timing at WOT to prevent knock. Now how exactly does the OP not need a tune when he's running a catless setup?

There's a lot of V36 G's out there that have made really good gains (anywhere from 10whp to 30whp) due to Uprev tuning.
