Default will i need a tune?

The car already has a tune for the current parts:
3200 stall
3.73 gears
air lid
-egr
-power steering
-LT/ory/slp catback

my question is im replacing the tranny with a beefed up 4l60e and using the same stall, replacing the y pipe/catback with an x pipe, and replacing the stock ls1 intake with a fast 78mm and porter TB. do i need a tune? i ran a 12.4@108 with a 1.61 60' tuesday and im trying to dial it in to 12.0 for the shootout. which if you heard how hard my tranny was slipping on my 12.4 passes you would know a good tranny should help out alot lol

any feedback/info is much appreciated!

also if i do need a tune who can hook me up with one prior to oct.7th in the st.louis,mo area!!!??

most likely not, tune would enhance power with the new intake setup

Yes you need a tune. You are adding a better flowing intake.

Yes, get the tune. Do you NEED it, no. But to each his own. If it were me, I would get it re tuned.
