Do I NEED a tune? Will I need to get a tune with long tubes, intake, underdrive pulley, and lightweight flywheel? I'm assuming the underdrive pulley and flywheel won't change anything and I don't plan on doing anything else performance related for a while. So do I need a tune to not damage anything, or is it just suggested for gas mileage/power, or is this not even enough to bother with? Thanks in advance for any advice.

If you dont it will not damage anything.
all that without the LT's nope you don't HAVE to but it's neevr a bad thing. now when you get LT's and remove those cats, yeah you will need a tune pretty quick depending on your drivin habits

also the cats and stock y pipe were the first things i took off to install the headers cuz it would be impossible to leave them anywhere close to their stock location with lt's. . .duh
, tune after Heads/Cam unless you plan on never installing these things, then sure, get one, it will help gain some horses and the engine will thank you. 
i meant did you leave them off after you put the LT's on you jackass
not to hijack but I’m doing lt’s on my car right now and I’m not going to run rear o2's, will the car run right or will it run really rough. and yes i will do a tune later
Car will run fine. Rear O2's just tell you if the cats are working correctly. You will have an SES light but will not hurt anything. That's what I am doing right now. Haven't gotten the codes tuned out.
