Default tune for ls6 intake

I have a head/cam 6.0l, it has a really good tune on it currently. I'm still running the gen3 truck intake with a 78mm dbw tb, I'm going to be swapping to an ls6 intake and keeping the 78mm tb, how much work is it for a tuner to make the changes for the new intake?

As far as the tuning goes, does something like that just take a few tweaks? or is it just as involved as a head /cam swap?

I wouldn't worry about it that much tbh. A tuner like frost that has experience tuning a wide variety of set-ups could make a very good educated guess, otherwise a dyno tune to re-dial in MAF and VE tables would be the best bet.

Not nearly as involved as a head/cam swap. Should be really easy

If you're previously tuned then it'll just take recalibration of the ve table(s). As long as the airflow path before the MAF is unchanged then it will still be fine, if the timing was previously set correctly then it should be fine.
