Default Nick Williams throttle body

Hi....

I am new to the site and the z06 platform. I recently purchased a 2017 z06 and I'm starting to do a few bolt on. My question is do I need to do a tune if I swap from a stock throttle body with afe intake over to a 103mm nick Williams and cordes 5" intake? I know the cars come from the factory a little fat, but am I pushing it by going with that combo?

Thanks for any information.

per our website it states you have to get a tune with our intake. The maf tube is SUBSTANTIALLY larger than oem so it won't be close at all on the OEM tune.

If I were you I wouldn't do that to the car unless I was doing at least a cam & lifters chg out, Then do those two things at that time. But with that 103 & that 5 inch pipe you will need a tune for sure in it. Robert

I don't blame you man no need in going two steps ahead then go two steps back then have to pay again to have her tuned again & again. Just get all your parts up then do all of that at one time and done & have some fun with her until then.
