GT cam/Tuneup/timing etc etc
Ok I just got my GT cam in the mail today and i'm waiting on some journal-cam bolts before I attempt to break my engine. but my question is, should I have my timming checked or get a engine tuneup(isn't it the same thing?) before or after I install the cams. I'm taking my tib to the import wars on friday, so this all has to be done 2morrow! thankx guys!
ps. Is it alright to take my car to the track the day after I install my cams? or do they need 2000miles breakin period or something. thankx!

as inobird said BUT I strongly advise that you install it after import wars, and give it a week or 2 to settle beofre you go racing, this also allows time for the ecu to remap etc. It's just the safe thing to do.

I also agree..let it break in for a week or so...I was SO afraid to get on it for the first few days...
