2011 California Special GT 5.0

I just bought the Trinity for my 2011 California Special GT 5.0
I put a BBK Cold Air Intake
Would this require a special tune and where would I get it?
I installed the 97 Octane choice and it seems to run ok but I am not sure if I need a special tune for the BBK air intake.
Anyone know?

USUALLY the bbk intakes do not require a special tune. that being said. if you want to make sure use your diablo tool to record a WOT pull and post up the log and i can look at it :)

Thank you Matt..
That is good to know...
My friend who test drove my Mustang yesterday says the tune is fine.. no modification necessary.
I am still not happy with the throttle response
It does not feel tight and when I goose it there is a little delay...
It still goes like a Raped Ape.. but just those two issues..

I was also wondering if there was a daily driver tune to get better gas mileage

I am kind of experiencing a little discomfort at the Pumps right now..

I know SCT has free tunes for life at their cost of $399.00 for the tuner

The Diablo was $5 ish,,,

ya the trinity is 5 ish due to it being a much more robust tool than the sct. sct doesn't offer free tunes though. usually companies that are dealers for them offer those. that being said shoot me an email and i'll get you set up on a few things. keep you away from that pesky sct company lol

Well my friend, you have taken the anxiety of buyers remorse right off the table and I thank you for that.
I will be in contact with you shortly to see what you need from me.
