No need for a tune change with the 1.6 rr's, go ahead and install them.

Install an AFPR set to current fuel pressure; then you can bump FP a few lbs to match increased air flow at high rpm.

Is it L98 or LT1??

OK, so measure fuel pressure at idle with the vacuum line off and bump it 1-2 psi after the RRs go in.

If you have a scan tool, record the O2 sensor values during a WOT run before the RRs go in. Then you can simply bump fuel pressure after the install to get the same values.
