I've looked for an answer to this question but I can't find one, some people say yes and others say no. I want to change out my stock Intake Plenum and Thottle body (65mm) for the BBK Intake Plenum and Throttle Body (75mm). The Cold Air Intake is already done (was done when I bought the car, which is a 2000 GT by the way) BBK Cold Air Intake was installed. So my question is: Does the computer need to be flashed/tuned to reflect the 75mm Intake/Throttle body upgrade? Thanks for your time and your help.

No you don't need a tune. Just unplug your battery ( Neg ) while doing the install. Your computer will re-set and learn the new set up. If you want the maximum capability from your new mod then yes, get a tune.

No need to get it tuned you might be able to get a few hp out of a tune though

you dont want to run too lean. Be carfull. Kepp an eye on the air to fuel ratio. I would get a tune to be safe.

You shouldn't need a tune, tip in from 2k-3k may be a bit lean but should level out to about 13.0 after that.

The car will pull much harder after 3k, hang on!
