Default tune after intake install?

I want to install the ls6 intake and ported TB i just picked up but wondering if i will need to tune after. I don't know how much the computer can adjust and i don't want to run lean and burn it up. In the next moth or so i'll be installing my new full exhaust system and was going to do a tune after that.
I could wait to do the install but i've got the itch to do it now.

I would tune after headers not after intake swap.

Right, but I'm wondering if the intake is going to make a big enough changed to the AF ratio that i should really have a tune after its done. If thats the case then i will wait with the intake install and do it when i put the exhaust on.

It will be fine to go ahead and put it on without a tune. I drove my camaro around with an intake, headers, true duals, and a cam on the stock tune for months with zero problems.
