Ok guys, I'm about to purchase an LS6 intake and SSRA. I already have LTs, ORY, catback, and lid. I will be removing AIR and EGR as well. Oh, and will be getting new plugs and wires. The car will remain unchanged after this for the better part of a year. Do I need to get a tune? I'm thinking yes because my gas mileage dropped with the exhaust install and also, just want to get the most out of the car for the time being. Appreciate any input.

did you have it tuned after the exhaust? if not, you will need a tune.

Didn't have them tune it after exhaust because I knew I was just going to be adding **** and have to burn through more money on another tune. Gonna be doing this within the next 4-6 weeks.

if youre going to need your car inspected soon, then yes you'll need a tune.

Good thing is that it got inspected 2 days before the exhaust went on
I know the AIR and EGR are going to throw codes. I already had the o2 codes burnt out with the exhaust. Just mainly looking at maximizing the performance aspect now. Don't want it running shitty and chance ******* something up in the long run.

Get the tune you will feel the difference i dont think it will mess anything up but i know it will use more fuel without the tune. Do you know a Jacob Siebert he got out of the marines like 8 months ago?

Name doesn't ring a bell. Was deployed from April to November so that didn't help much. U know what unit he was with?

No i don't remember but he had a 01 pewter formula with a black ws9 hood.

Can't remember any of those running around, but then again, I wasn't really looking for any at the time. I've seen a few pewter f-bodys and a shitload of f-bodys period on base. I'll have to stick around one weekend for that jersey mike's meet.

Thought you might of know him but get that tune. Dont know if anyone in your area tunes but the guy that did mine is good.

There's a shop back home in Garner that does tunes and makes their money on LS1s. Going to take it to them.

most good tuners will tune your car, then if you add **** within a year or so, they will re-tune it for free.

well i mean if ur trying to maximize performance then u will definetly want it tuned. i had full exhaust and my car ran like **** when i had to sit in traffic on a summer day. i had it tuned and it fixed that problem.
