K&N intakes & exhaust?

If I put set of intakes and an exhaust on my Z would you think that I would need to have it dynoed?

I think you're asking if you'd need a tune not a dyno, you wouldn't NEED one but you'd yield better numbers if you did.

You will see better gains out of your mods with a tune. Its beneficial to get a tune even with the car stock. Its not just for horsepower!

Very true...but the Z can re-learn itself no need for tuning if your satisfied with the way it runs after the mods.
The biggest part of tuning is getting the right tuner to do it, otherwise it might mess up your car.
To OP if ain't broke don't fix...Search the forum for good tuners if you like.

I was just worried that if I added the intakes and exhaust that it would eventually upset the balance, or have adverse affects on the engine, that is without getting it tuned.
