It doesn't really need a tune, but I have more or less the same mods as you and mine did whistle. It didn't whistle that loud maybe because all my mods are ported to match but it did whistle until I got exhaust. It either went away or the exhaust is to loud to here it.

damn, that is loud.....

aftermarket throttle body's are known to whistle, ive heard some worse then others.

BBK is sapposed to be the worse.

my BBK does wistle, but only between 50-75% throttle most the time, and sometimes at WOT in the lower RPM's.

now that my exhaust is loud as hell, i never hear it anymore really.



try this.

other then that iwould think you might have a leak in a gasket, sucking in air, and whistling or something crazy....... idk.....

good luck
