Default would this need a tune?

I just bought the car a while ago. It has a BBK throttle body, full exhaust and thats all that I can find aftermarket on the drivetrain. I have purchased a cci and waiting for the funds to buy a tunner. I just wonder if it has a tune allready with what it has?

With the BBK throttle body and exhaust mods you do not need a tune.

No tune necessary for those mods.

Define "full exhaust". Providing the exhaust is stock from the engine to the cats, no retuning is required.

I wouldnt trust whats on there. Make sure the 1st mod you get is a tuner with a good tune like BAMA and as u add peripherals, just call him and tell him what you added and he'll send you a free revised tune. At least thats what he did for me in the past and I have not heard of him changing his policy.
