Question Will I need a tune (Ported throttle body addition

Just finished installing my Solo Cats and my CAI Intake and catch can. Not bad for a days work! I'm thinking about getting a ported throttle body. My question is will I need a tune with these mods in conjunction with the vmax PTB? The car is damn near brand new (2013 2ls) and I would hate to void my bumper to bumper and powertrain warranties.


EDIT GODAMIT I accidentally posted this in the turbo forums, please pretend my thread is in this general region: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=148

Agreed, no tune needed. Might want to reset your ECU by disconnecting the battery.

Since you posted this in the Forced Induction section you must now buy and install a turbo or supercharger.

You can get a 3.27 or 3.55 in your differential. Any other ratio or LSD you will need to swap out to a SS differential. I'm going to a 1LE diff with 3.91.

The 2LS doesn't accept any gear ratios unless he does a full rear swap

If it is the same 7.6" differential as the LT V6 Auto's it can accept some other gears. Richmond does make a 3.55 for the 7.6", and GM makes 3.27.
