Not sure why it would need one, I have installed several and had friends that did the same with no tuning. Of course even a stock engine can benefit from a tune usually so....I wouldn't worry about it.

Does not require a tune but to receive full benefit of the mod, at least a canned tune would be in order. will it hurt to run without? No.
