Tune with GPI or Crawford intake? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey guys first thread here but I've been lurking a long time. I just had my car tuned for full bolt ons by formato down in tampa and now I got the bug to get a ported manifold. Currently looking at GPI or Rick Crawford from what I understand they are pretty much the same? Ricks mani's look like they have the center posts cut whereas rhino leaves them in...

I know the difference isnt much hp wise but I really dont want to pay for a retune for just a simple intake swap and also getting the time to drive up to tampa with school right now just isnt an option ( know formato gets around though but still no time). are both a "no tune needed" mod? I saw the gpi thread where afr didnt change so it was a-ok just wondering if the crawford was different since the posts were taken out.

I have logged before and after and haven't needed retuned.

Rick is the daddy of the mod.

I can cut the posts out and epoxy it etc, but the radius bars are most all the power. And on top of that it takes longer and I have to charge a little more.

From what I've seen with these intakes, sometimes a slight touch-up in the Air/Fuel needs to be done but otherwise it's fine as is.

Was that the same thing even with the posts out or does it not matter

The only one I have cut posts out of was mine, but I port matched to the heads and made some other changes so I had to retune. I didn't do it by itself.
