I would imagine so since it was tuned to stock intake and exhaust. Probably just need to adjust the settings to get the performance gains out of the mods you added. However I am no expert just my 2 cents.

The consensus is that you don't have to tune for intake and exhaust because of the type of sensors this truck has it will correct for them it's self.

You purchased custom tunes through Mike at 5 Star right? Have you emailed him yet? I am sure he would be able to give the best guidance since he developed the tunes. Every time I have reached out to Mike whether by phone or email he has be very responsive in providing support.

You can tell that Mike did a ton of R&D putting actual road miles on his EB with these tunes and it shows. This tune is so smooth, turbo noise isn't nearly as loud, and it pulls through all the gears so strong. The thing that makes it such a vast improvement over other tunes is the shifting, the truck is always in the perfect gear. I will post a better review once I have a chance to drive it more with the 93 Perf/Tow installed. My first impression is that I am extremely impressed at this point! Good job Mike!
Your turbos are quieter with the 93 tune? I'm running the 91 and they are loud as ****! Anyone else?

^He's saying the turbos aren't as loud as they were on his superchips tune.
