Yes although going from an LS6 to this setup isn't a drastic change in airflow you will still benefit from retuning to take advantage of the increased airflow. When I put on my FAST 90/90 I was definitely leaner than before especially in the cells above 5K rpms.

your idle may go up a bit, as you have more air flow. I would throw it on the dyno to see what the A/F is. I would probably get a retune- talk to your tuner and work something out- you don't need a full tune.

I'm going to get it tuned again. I was just wondering about driving it around before I could make it over there.

You'll be fine driving it over there. Like I said mine only got too lean at high rpm's. Just don't beat the crap out of it on the way to the tuner.
