Hi.
So ive been untuned from my LT/TD install since last fall and have been researching HPTuners since then for the better weather to get some logging done and eventually tune.
But as I have a mod plan in mind, I got impulsive and bought the next part in my plan which is a FAST 90/NW90 Intake setup.
(overkill now, but I plan on a H/C sometime in the future when funds permit)
What I would like to ask the tuning folks, is if I should try and tune out the richness now, and then add the higher flow intake and TB,

or

Go ahead and install the 90/90 and try and tune afterwards.

If what I'm reading is correct, the 90/90 will outflow what the stock MAF is capable of reading, so I might end up having to do SD, which is a couple steps more complicated than tuning out the richness in the VE tables from what I understand.

Any insight on if I am getting a little ahead of myself would be appreciated.

Thanks for any input folks,
DJ

If it's your first time tuning then go ahead and start working on it now before swapping any more parts. It will be a huge advantage to you to be comfortable with the software and where you are in your tune before putting on your new stuff.
The larger TB will likely need some attention in the idle tables, but I don't think you will HAVE to get rid of your MAF. The larger TB isn't going to force more air into your engine. About the only change you'll notice maybe is a slight increase in manifold pressure at WOT. The MAF reading would likely stay close to the same.
The MAF #'s will go up with heads/cam, but probably not out of its range.
