Question Will i have to get retuned?

I am Trifecta tuned and have a drop in K&N air filter, other than that i am stock. I am thinking about getting a K&N CAI. Will i have to get retuned or will i be able to just install the CAI and be good to go?

Correct me if I'm wrong someone but doesn't the drop in supposedly skew fuel trims more than the intake. Both K&N. That might be on stock tune only though. If your tuned for the drop in I wouldn't add an intake unless your getting retuned.

Either use one or the other. Some times trifecta base layer with the hptuner.trifecta.combo gives plentiful of issues.

How do you know it's trifecta then? It could be hpt or superchips.
