You will need a tune to get full benefit I put my lts on about a month ago and haven't gotten tuned yet. Ive put 1000 miles on it since, thee only problems are the engine light in my face and a slight ping under wot without 93 in the tank. it drives fine under normial driving. fuel mileage wise if I keep my foot outa it and drive like a sane person didn't loose much of anything.

No you will not need a retune, however it will take advantage of the long tubes for sure.
