got an intake for free!
my uncle used to have a 2010 SS and he traded up for the ZL1 so he gave me his K&N intake for free so i was wondering do i need a re-tune to run the intake properly? i know some cars (my old trailblazr ss included) that when u swap out the factory intake for an after market one sometimes it doesnt help u gain hp/tq with out a re-tune and u actually lose hp/tq from said after market intake. any advice would be great.

No you don't need to re tune it...you can.

you shouldnt lose anything just from the Intake.. you might gain some but it shouldnt hinder the performance unless it s a STRICKLY TUNE only intake like a Vararam model.. If you plan on tuning the car id put all your desired bolt-ons on first before you spend the money on tuning cause you will be spending more each time you add something on to re-tune..

I have a K&N air charger on my 2011 LS and was very easy to install.

ok great so ill slap it in when i break the motor in a little more, its just a basic k&n intake. as long as it wont hinder performance than im good with that. my trailblazer ss was very sensative everything u did the truck needed a tune or a re-tune, maybe thats just an LS2 problem that they needed tuning for everything. im glad i can put in the intake and not worry about throwing something off with the camaro.
