i have been running my tr224 cam, ls6 intake and lt headers for 4 months untuned now! I have changed my oil every 3k will it hurt anything besides the plugs to drive untuned for this long?:confused:

As long as you're not fouling your plugs or runnin high KR you should be alright..... perhaps not getting evey pony out of your combo :( ... are you getting much soot on your pipe tips ... a sign of high LTFTs......do you have access to any data logging software to confirm what is happening, that would be your safest bet :)

If you are running rich you might damage the O2 sensors. If you are running lean could end up being really bad.

i ran extremely rich and did end up fouling my o2 sensor so i had to change it out and get retuned. just make sure that everything seems ok and check things out once in a while to be sure :D

plugs and o2 sensors... unless your tune is really off and you car getting ping or detonation. at least try to get a good log on it to be safe....

is there anyway to tell if my o2's are fine before i make a road trip to get tuned?:)

i dunno for sure, but i would prob buy an o2 sensor first, go to dyno tune, if tuning is an issue for the o2 sensor, switch and see if its any better. if not, then just return the o2 sensor and get your money back.
