Tune after Intake? (Please read first)
Hey CF,
I have a 2010 GS 6mt. Has headers and exhaust installed. The car has been tuned for these.
If I add a CAI, will I need to re-tune? Looking to do a cam install next year and would really rather hold off on a re-tune until then.
Give me your expert facts, not opinions please. Either I put it on if not needed, or I don't if it is and hold on to it until the cam install.
Thanks,
FR

what cold air intake are you thinking? my hurricane intake used to throw CEL i modified the maf curve slightly and adjusted the VVE for the headers. the biggest problem that i see is heat soak on the MAF sensor when idling for long periods of time, this is prone to any LS motor with a MAF with integral IAC sensor.
i don't see any issue throwing the intake on.

Depends on the intake. Some have factory or close to factory cross sections across the maf and won't have issues. Others need a tune because they are so far off it will effect all the fueling. So there is no yes or no answer.
