Default 5 Star Tune and intake mod question

I've been on the fence over a Livewire TS with a 5 Star Tune for a while.

If it wasn't boat splashing season, this wouldn't be an issue at all!
Slip Fee = $2600
New Exhaust on twin 454's = $1900
Bottom Paint and hull prep = $700
The usual Spring BS = $1000
Top off 300 gallon fuel tanks =$500
Time away from The Warden = PRICELESS 😎

So, I have a new set of sparkplugs ready and just ordered an Airaid JR. Intake Kit.

My question is...do I install the intake kit and the plugs first and run it for a while, before adding the tune? Do I All At Once?
FYI, 23000 miles and I've been running 93 for a long time.

Also on the fence on a Catch Can. Any suggestions from realtime users?

Thanks Everyone, Be Safe!!!

My thought would be to do it all at once....and why, with all the threads on the subject, why why why ask this forum about a catch can and intake??

Maybe you enjoy the banter...

BTW - sounds like a big, fast boat! Have fun on the water...

I've read that the catch can needs to be attached to the intake and air box. Possible requiring some drilling, so wondering if it would be easier to do it all at once.

Thanks a lot !!!

Might as well do it all at once. The intake won't add more than a HP or two if any. So you won't see a difference from that.
