Default MSD Atomic Airforce intake

I'm replacing my LS1 intake with the MSD Atomic airforce do I need to hook the EGR back up or do I need to get it tuned right away if I don't?

You'll have a check engine light but won't need a tune for just the egr. A tune would provide a better air to fuel ratio.

Have you installed it yet? What injectors are you using? I have one and have had a few hiccups with it

I just picked up some 42lbs injectors. I tried once but when I went to grind the water pump down it started leaking so i ended up putting the original intake back on and ordered a new water pump. I've had a few hiccups. Ended up getting the msd fuel rails and the new injectors gonna try again this weekend. I already did the steam ports so I should be good to go

With Ev1 style injectors you will need the space kit and larger orings. The Ls2 fuel rails work with this intake.

Ya, I was just saying the Ls2 rails are a option and can be had for cheap.
