New Intake. New Tune Required?
New Intake. New Tune Required? I have this 4 inch aluminum intake tube which relplaces our squeeze tube on our ls6 cts-v's. I got dyno tuned without the tube installed. My tuner also told me to stay away from metal intake tubes. So I ask, if I install this tube, will it mess up the dyno tunes preciseness (ie bc Im adding the tube, all the ideal parameters will now be different a/f etc?)
Also what are your thoughts on the aluminum tube.
Thanks

So like the bellows from the filter housing to the throttle body?
Not familiar as much with that setup, but if thats all it is is a bellows, no, not enough to warrant a re-tune IMO.

alright, and what are you all's thoughts on the aluminum pipe vs the plastic. The plastic is not smooth ( has those ridges for flexibility) and has a squeeze section where it gets pretty narrow. However the aluminum is smooth, larger diameter, no squeeze, but it gets hotter than the plastic one. So I ask, what should I do? Does the intake charge even spend a long enough time traveling through the tube to effect the temperature?
You haven't changed the volumetric efficiency of the motor which is what happens when you add heads, cam or even headers due to scaveging so all that will happen is as the computer detects more air, it will adjust to a different cell in the fueling table and adjust the amount of fuel added.
It's when you change the way the motor runs and burns fuel through different valve events, different heads with different flow values that you would need to adjust your VE table to account for the mods.
Maybe he was just trying to upsell 'would you like fries with that'?
