We always recommend tuning, but I have seen a lot of guys run a Halltech and Akra AB without a tune and they did not have any issues.

What are you planning that would require methanol injection?

Has anyone checked a/f before those mods and then after.? Probably not big enough effect to need tune. but with tune you will get more of the HP increase u are looking for.
