such thing as too much induction (not talking turbo)
 
so i just came home from deployment a few days ago and i bought everything in my sig below, not all installed yet. my question is this i already have an slp lid with k/n filter and i will be uprgrading to a 85mm throttle body with an bbk ss 85 mm intake manifold and i want to do the ls1 free ram air mod as well. i will be installing headers soon but with a heavy lean right now towards induction am i going to have troubles with idle or a big difference in mpg as i do not plan on getting it tuned for quite some time after the install untill i am done modding at the end of this year most likely. i do plan on getting the sts rear mount turbo in the future as well.

Dont really know what your question is. If your asking if you will need a tune after the intake, TB, and headers then Im going to say probably. I recently put a p/p TB, volant CAI, Kooks LTs, Kooks 3in duals on my 98 TA and it needs a tune bad. So bad I cant drive it

First of all, thank you for your service.

Next, let's try to find the questions in that paragragh (question marks and punctuation in general help).

You would benifit from a tune. It should still be quite drivable, but your mileage will suffer. I am currently running LT's, LS6 intake, ported TB, and a few other things and I'm untuned. Your car should "learn" after driving for a while. A tune will help the mileage as well as pick up some power you will be leaving on the table.
