Q about intake and tunes
My buddy has an LNF and im not 100% sure how everything works with this DI stuff. If he orders a tune from Trifecta for a stock car, the adds an intake later, does he need to re-tune or no?
I dont think he does, but I have been wrong before ...and id feel better double checking for him.
Thanks guys.

I talked to Dan from CIA and he said that the only part you should have is the intake before the tune because they make special adjustments for it. Adding exhaust, DP, or boost tubing later will not need to cause your car to be re-tuned. They have tested every combination of parts on their car with the tune and only the intake caused the tune to need to be adjusted.

With trifecta you will need the intake prior to tuning - or tune immediately afterwards. Also, depending on the intake I highly recommend data logging... Vince had to solve several issues concerning my Hahn CAI before the tune was completely smooth. These cars are extremely sensitive to their MAF readings, but can compensate when it comes to changes imposed by other mods....
Based on the fact that I had to readjust for the intake, I do not recommend running around with an intake and no tune (install just prior to tune)...others may not have had problems with theirs - but it is a risk that you may not want to take...

Do you have to retune?... no, the car will adapt within reason. Should you retune?... yes, as it will help get the maximum performance from the mods, smooth out any quirks, and the ECU won't have to adapt as much on its own.
Think of everything from the intake to the exhaust tip as a whole system. Any time you change one thing, it will affect the rest of the system in some way. Tuning after any changes allows you to dial in adjustments to use all the parts to the greatest advantage and take out any issues any of the parts could cause if left untouched.
