you'll definitely need a tune with a new cold air kit. with the increased airflow the car will need to be tuned to get the correct A/F ratio going. if you don't the car will throw codes and run like complete butthole not to mention the possibility of damage to the engine.

If you install the CAI without a tune, it will not run well at all (if at all). Get a good tune and enjoy your JLT - but DONT install it without one.

You will most certinaly need a tune. The S197s very specifically need a tune when a new CAI - totally different car than the SN95's
