Do I need a new tune after I drop a supercharger on?

Hi everyone, im really new to the forced induction section but am really thinking obout going this route. Currently i have the mods in the sig. Im curious how a good pro charger system would work with my cam? Also i'd like to know what kind of tuning is needed for a typical supercharger set-up. hope to hear a reply thnx.

Yes, a new tune (preferably dyno tune) would be very beneficial.

Stock Lucas injectors won't like the high pressure you're system will see with a FMU. Step-up to larger injectors (42 lbs/hr), eliminate the FMU and have a custom dyno tune dial it in...more reliable, more power and room to grow.

you honestly recomend 42#er's. What about a fuel pump? Also my cam is on 110 lobe seperation angle. Is it hard to find a good place to do some dyno tuning?????
