Hi,
I don’t recommend this with any other engine bolt on, but unless there’s a document saying TUNE REQUIRED to use, you can bolt this up & run it as is until you get a tune, since you’ve already a have a preset TPS, it’s not that drastic of a change (55mm2 vs 62mm2) that the motor won’t adapt, a tune is not required, BUT- if it says it does t ha t it REQUIRES A TUNE somewhere- there’s a reason.
Mine is identical, F.P. 62mm, program recommended for best output, but not a NEED. Plug & play.
Potentially changed something, if it REQUIRES a Tune to run. I tune & have never run into that with these size TB’s, Ford, Accufab,
BBK, I’ve used most in people’s S-197’s.
Can you PM me a shot of the spec’s? Or it’s P/N? I’m curious. If it SAYS to wait & get a tune, follow their advice, entirely. Only be 2-3 days if you buy tonight.
If they instruct something- there’s a reason for it. Not worth any chance- right?
Tune, best value, as they Dynoed most bolt ons for the S197’s, I’d suggest a BAMA tune for it with an SCT REV-X Tuner, free tunes for life-for every mod you buy, they comes through your WIFI network once completed within 48hrs I believe-, as long as you own the car. Really a deal that can’t be beat.
I own their Software, sell these. Create tunes for others, that $$ figure is a great deal! I charge 70-120$ for a DYNO based tune, my HPT, over 200$ per Tune. (DYNO based= I’d Dynoed a car similar to it & they get the closest thing.
Go to American Muscle, they also sell a cool air intake & tuner with Tunes for life (that’s free, btw) for reduced cost. Worth it if youre going to do it, later anyways, you’ll never get a better deal on a good CAI, if you’re in a tough emissions area, get a CARB compliant unit (like an Airaid MXP- be sure it is, if need be. It’ll have an exemption sticker with it) for no hassle inspections (they don’t require a time to run correctly, but gains will be much better with one).. Put 35HP on the table for you, and great throttle response, x3 vs Stock, better mileage as well.
If inspections aren’t so bad, go with the C&L racer, ones in my 08’ GT, and without many mods at first, it really woke it up & roared through the intake quite obnoxiously(both intakes did). Always get a tune for your parts when you get them with tunes for life, they’re FREE, I create my own, but do the same- my neighbors don’t much like my friends & customers Cars, nor mine, lol.
As it’s free for you, I suggest requesting a tune for most any other applicable engine part upgrade., e.g. you don’t need a tune if you change your COP’s, etc.
RevX tuner, tunes for life, Airaid MXP intake.
Link..You can get the same tuner& tunes for life for a little less without the CAI, but you’ll be glad you bought it..
Good luck!!
