I think that's what he's tryna avoid.

But yea, should be no problem. Of course it's makin an older engine work harder but it won't be too affected. And yea, especially after getting those mods a tune should be done.

You shouldn't have anything to worry about, Just make sure your maintenance is up to date and your car is in good running condition.

it should be fine, but thats depends on how much whp you want out of it. blowing up the motor while tuning can happen even on a low miles motor....

ive seen evos with over 150k miles get tuned on the stock block with no problem. If you stay with that setup and have properly maintained your evo you should have no problem.
