You won't need a tune at all. It'll help take advantage of the headers but it isn't necessary

I went a 2 months before a tune. Quality Motorsports was not able to flash my pcm (lack of knowledge) and finally found SNL that did.

You will be fine.

well i finished the car up last night. I got a couple more zipties to buy so i can get some of the wires away from the driver side but thats it. Im very happy with the sound and like you guys said the car runs fine....My sotp dyno feels stronger and im tryin to decide on buying a ported mani and throttlebody or saving up for a heads and cam setup...

I went with a pacesetter armor coated with no cat setup to my magnaflow catback.
