Default Tuning after LS6 intake?

I just installed a LS6 intake... is it normal that I will need to tune the car again? I noticed some surging now

You shouldnt have too. Give it a few 100 miles or so. How does it idle?

It idles fine once it is warm... but surges some (not a bad... going to stall surge) when I first start it up. It seems to run fine... except for the surging that was not there before

Well i asked that because it could be a small leak some where.

Is the surging on a cold start only? Every time I make any kind of change to my setup the first few cold starts are a little twitchy with some minor surge. It eventually ends up learning itself out in my case......

Speaking of that though, I think I'm going to bump my cold start/low coolant temp idle range just for this type of reason. What is your idle set at?

Thanks for the replies... I think that I will be good once I drive it for a lil while.

I dont remember what my idle is exactly.... I think it is around 850-900.
