Default Will I need a retune? LS6 intake.

Once I put the FAST 102 on my Trans Am i'll have my stock LS6 intake laying around so I figured i could put it on my camaro. The camaro is only bolt ons. I know the injectors are different from 00-02 so Ill stick with the camaros 26s. If all i change is the intake will I need a retune? My EGR is all ready deleted.

You don't have to, but there will be power left on the table if you don't. But thats with any modification.

You already have a tune for the other mods?
If no I would get a tune.. if yes I wouldn't worry about it.
Mail order will be fine.

I'm gonna be putting a torquer 2 in it eventually so I'd just have to have it tuned twice if i tune it for the intake. I didn't know if i'd have to do both at once. Thanks

I ran mine for a year without a tune. It's a good idea though.

Aside from the EGR delete, a slight touch-up on the AFR is needed but other than that its basically a direct swap.

Do you have a tune for everything else?

If you plan on a cam in the near future hold off.

If geting more mods in future then wait for the tune. I did just about all boltons on my old 98z without a tune. Ended up just using a vinci handheld for a tune after.

Yup, there is no reason to get it tuned more than it needs to be. I would wait until you have everything finished.
