if you changed to a different manifold i would imagine you would need to
assuming you had a log manifold before going to the ramhorn

If it starts and runs like crap, why wouldnt you retune it..? Also, if you changed anything, it needs to be retuned. It may not require much time on the dyno, but it still needs some work

I think you knew the answer to that question before you asked.

It sounds like something else is wrong as well... Changing those few things *shouldn't* cause the starting to have greatly changed. I would assUme you did something wrong on the install/swap.

Might wana check spark plugs and or your fuel is the wrong oct. I know when I changed exhaust and ram horn my car never acted like that. But I still had it retuned cause I was running rich.
