will dealer tune after gmpp header/intake/cat?

1st is it necessary to tune after gmpp mods are added to get most hp gains?
2nd will the dealer tune it if it needs it?

1. to get the most gains....yes, but its not really needed to get a lot from it.
2. Gmpp should tune it.

Will the air intake come from the factory? I thought that was a dealer added accessory.

Do you need a tune after all of those mods? No.

Should you get one to get the most go for your money? Yes.

Will a stealership do it? Last I checked, dealers didn't stock EFILive, HPTuners, LS3Edit, have qualified EFI tuners, or have dynos on hand. So no.

Get a tune from a legitimate tuner. If you're going to put performance parts on your car, then you should benefit from those parts. Buy tuning software or pay someone to dyno and tune your Camaro. You'll thank me for this advice later.
