Default Ported Fast 92/92 on bolt-on 346=tune?

If I install my ported Fast intake will I need a tune? I will be adding heads and cam later, should I just wait?

it will still run fine obiously better if tune bt i recommend just wait till you have done everything you want so you dont spend double on tunning.

That's what I wanted to avoid (paying for a tune twice). But I have had this thing for a year now, I have had it so long they stopped making it and have something better (102). Would I even be able to tell the 10-15 HP increase?.

if you have the factory tune ,which is rich you should be fine. the fast will lean it out a little. do you have headers?

Is your transmission automatic or Manual?

I'm not sure it will make a difference with your question, but I know some cam changes are more allowable on a car with a manual transmission without a tune.

Most places won't charge full price for a retune. Not even close.

As far as your question goes, I don't think you'll see much gain without tuning.
