However, conversely many run the G3 without a tune and have had no issues.

You're really opening up your car's lungs, so I would get the tune to maximize power and make sure that your AFR's are within a safe range. I have Stillen Gen3's, FI CBE, Stillen pulley, and the FI LTH's are coming today, so I will be getting a tune after that.

I know I will need a tune. My question is, "Am I at risk of damaging my car if I add the m370 and/or XYZ for a month without a tune?" I see people use the word "safe" so Im apprehensive.
