Will I need a tune?

I'm going to be adding a VR snake charmer to my C6 and was wondering if I'll be OK or if I'll need to tune it.

Sorry for the questions in the wrong section, but there is no longer a regular C6 section.

Tune not necessary

Not needed for drivability, but will help exploit the full efficiency of the intake. Infact, a tune will make more ponies on a completely stock ride.

I had the VR VR2B installed and did NOT need a tune. car will adjust to slight variances.....

BTW, I went from 109mph to 122mph in quarter mile
and 12.8 to 11.9 with the VaraRam addition. It worked for me!

Did you do it? Is it worth the money. I'm thinking about it.

I don't think the tune is absolutely necessary, but it does help. Wait until you add more mods and then you can tune it. No sense in tuning it twice. Good luck.
