I will more then likely just wait to install until I upgrade it to a red to save the 500.00 for other needed parts ie...injectors, cam gears and belt, either ported and coated stock mani or tubi and then tune.

This.

You won't have to retune, might be good idea to turn down the boost a pound or so but retune would get more power.
