You'll need speed density tune. Are you running forced induction?

You can run the car without it. You simply turn it off and tune the car in speed density. Only problem with this is when the weather changes throughout the year you will have to change the tune to get max performance. You don't have the MAF compensating for changes in the air. Personally, if it's a street car, I would leave the MAF.
