well if your doing all that and CAMS yes... and not to be a dick but duh...

after any mod you should technically want to re-tune or tune an ecu to get the most power from that mod.

HAHAHA, not to the question but to the way you answer some things just kills me lol. But back on subject I'd have to agree with the above. Even if you didn't NEED to, it would still be way worth it and I think it would be the only way to get the true potential out of your mods and not to mention you'd get more of your $'s worth out of the parts.

you can get away from not tuning with i/h/e but cams need to be tuned. idle, ignition, fuel curves, everything to run correctly.

Yeah seriously and depending on what you get, tuning gets expensive. On an old B16 EG I used to have some JUN III stage 3 cams and they took hours just to get the car to idle.
