Default Cam without Tuning??

Is there any cam out there that makes decent power but doesn't exactly require the engine to be tuned. I want a good cam sound but i don't wanna want to buy a tune...

Im always very short on money, and i was just curious about it. I know a tune would help out alot more, but i didn't know if it was possible to get a cam without tuning. bluecajun i sent you a pm.

you can get a mailorder tune for much cheaper than you can get a cam/springs/pushrods.

cam + no tune = two-footin' daily drivin' (depends on the cam)

why spend the money on a mild cam that'll work with no tune? Mail order tune might yield you better results. To get the most out of your truck with an aftermarket cam, you'll want to have the supporting mods. I (as well as many others before me) have tried the cheap route. Save ya ducketts and Do The Dew!

I pulled 46HP from a cam/springs/tuning on a N/A set-up alone. This was with LT headders and intake already installed.
