Default should i get it tuned?

I just got the new motor in. I transfered all my old mods, headers,x-pipe,exhaust,CAI. Should i get it re-tuned? they said they didn't reset the computer. Should my old tune still be good? and will it work on the new motor? GM dealership said it is fine. what do u guys think?

I agree. At the very least strap it back on a dyno and see what the air/fuel looks like. It definitely couldn't hurt.
