Do I Need Another Tune?

Several years ago I had a custom 383 built. At the time, the motor had Hooker ceramic shorty headers on it. While doing an oil change more recently, I noticed that one of the flange bolts from the header to the y-pipe had broke. While looking it over, I noticed carbon build up underneath the primaries flanges indicating the gaskets were burning out which was later verified after removing the shorties, the flanges were starting to deteriorate around the primary sealing surface. So I finally made the decision to buy and install some stainless long tubes. Now when this motor was built, I had a tune done by PCMforLess.
With the installation of the long tubes, I'm wondering if I need to get it tuned again?

I already answered your identical question on LTxtech.

There's only a handful of LT1 diehards left here. Even fewer on the LS1 and other generations.

I know and I appreciate your responses.

I'm just used to putting up posts across different forums and getting different opinions from different people. It just seems like these forums are nowhere near as active as they used to be back in the day.
