without vafc2 or a cam gear what would you tune?
You could just install the cam and go but you will not get the full potential of the cam without vafc2 and a camgear + some dyno tuning

and since you still need to tune a stage 1 and have to get a vafc2 you might as well go for the stage 2...same price but you just need the V/R set. idk

how are you gonna tune a camshaft?? with an adjustable cam gear. My advise would be to get a cam gear as a minimum along with your camshaft. Then get it tuned.
