Im about to install a few aftermarket parts on my car: CAI Intake, AAM spacer, Berk HFC, and HKS Hi power exhaust. Now Iv read the possible gains from each of these and overall possible gains all together. Iv also read that after installing such things there is a possibility of no gain and even the feeling of loss of power.

What it be in my best interest to get the best out put of these mods by getting the car tuned?

 

Some folks say no, but me. I say yes on the tune.

 

you will be running lean. get a tune.

 

depends what you mean by "need"

will the car blow up if you don't get it tuned? probably not

will it run anywhere close to optimal if you don't get a tune? definitely not

your house is only as strong as your foundation

 

well for practical purposes of modding and wanting your car to run at its best and squeezing out any available power then YES get a tune!

 

thanks for the replies guys...I suppose if I do follow through with it I'll end up driving up to Forged in GA...You all are solidifying my assumption, thanks.

 

I say go for the tune after full bolt on's are achieved, level out your air/fuel and help with your timing.
I followed the same path your on and I didnt lose power at the point your at.
Its just my belief that ECU work(reflashing or piggybacking) should be done last. at least with the path it looks like your going. just my opinion tho!!!

+1 on the rims!!!
