Thanks Chase, I already checked and my MAF says K19 so I'm good to go. I know a tune is not NEEDED for a CAI intake/ported TB, but is there any gain to be had with a tune (from a reputable Chevy tuner... wants $350 for a dyno tune) on an LS3 after putting on the intake/TB? Or would a tune after the intake/TB really only benefit the L99 and not the LS3? With experience with my previous cars, I've always thought of an intake/tune as a normal combination, but if there is nothing (or very little) to be gained on the LS3 I don't think I'll bother. Thanks!
