Default Will I need a tune?

I am installing a full exhaust, a lid, p&p throttle body, 85 mm mafs, making my own smooth bellows, and also doing the throttle body bypass. First off will the ported throttle body and 85 mm mafs be compatible with them selves and a ls6 intake? And will i need a tune?

if it's the slp maf then no but you should in order to get the most out of it. a stock GM maf will require the truck or z06 maf table in your tune. a tune will def help

Defintly go with a tune then, I did similar mods at the same time, a dyno tune will run about $350/375, well worth it . It really ties all the mods together at once.

Yeah, saw that and am not sure w/ a SS Hood. I have a Ram Air an SLP Lid.
I guess if you have the $$$$ for all the goods, go ahead and do it at once.
