Default Intake manifold swap

Evan LS3 stroker motor stage 3 cam heads ,102 intake manifold , 102 cai ,102 throttle body
Currently I have the fast 102 mm intake.
If I swap it to the xs intake manifold would I have to get an adjustment on the tune?

Supposedly the excess manifold is a little bit better in performance.

Any kind of upgrade to utilize the full potential of the upgrade is essential to get every HP out of it, if that's what you're looking for. So yes. How much you get is how good the tuner is.
