Default Swapping turbo manifold styles, should I get a re-tune?

Going from non a/c, p/s ramhorn to mini-ram for quicker spool times. Is it recommended to re-tune the car when making a change like this?

And if so, are there any Boston/NY/CT/NH/RI people here that are credible and trusted tuners that would street tune my car for a few bucks and maybe a case of beer?

Thanks

Yup, it needs a re-tune when changing manifold styles, especially going to different runner lengths.

Yes...your spool times are going to be much quicker so you will need a retune
