Default LS6 intake upgrade

I have a 98 M6 Z28 with a mti lid, flowmaster, lowered with strano and a couple other suspension mods I am planning on ordering these things, Long tubes with ory pipe, tsp rumpler cat back with powerstick in the I pipe and LS6 intake with ported TB. My question is can can I do the intake with tb swap and it run fine without a tune? I know it wont get peak HP till the dyno tune but I'm just curious if it would run ok without the tune for maybe a month?

It will probably throw a check engine light but as long as you dont beat on it, it should be fine... btw if you need a LS6 intake w/ Ported TB i have one for sale. Im just trying to find a fast setup to replace it

Oh ok. What do u think about frost tunes? Would that be worth it temporarily or just wait for the full tune
How many miles on it and for how much?

Hi,
frost is very good and knows what most need for their vehicle....however, i would spin it up to remove codes and get (wot) readings etc. $250 and up for a pull and tune. Frost, is about $125 plus with a quick turn around. You make the call either way depending on use/needs. Always use a reputable person as a bad tune can launch your engine into an early grave. Good luck and have a blessed weekend.........captain jim
