Default Should I retune after installing Cold Air Intake CAI

Hi,
My car was tuned using UpRev by a tuner in Dubai. Initially my car was having stock boxes with drop-in filters (K&N), test pipes, and catback, and it was tuned.
Now, I am expecting CAI to be arrived and then I will do the installation.

However, my question is, do I need to retune the car again? or no need?

Looking forward to hear from you.

Regards,
NASM

What is the point of installing the intakes if you aren't going to retune? You're just leaving power on the table if you don't. Not that it'll hurt anything if you don't retune. With your other mods, the intake upgrade will be minimal gains.

I got it, so retune is next once I am done with installation. Thanks JARblue, appreciated
