Default GPI IM rod-mod

I'm looking into purchasing a GPI ported IM with the rod-mod for my 2011 GS. Will my car require a tune after installation? My current mods are 1-7/8 ARH headers, Borla Atak exhaust. The car has already been tuned.

Most likely. The computer can only compensate so much. If you don't, keep an eye on AFR and take it slow.

They said a retune wasn't required when I installed mine.Didn't affect the AFR when I dynoed it after the install.

Interesting. I would hate to install it and find I do need a tune. $1000 for a dyno tune on Long Island.
