Tuning Question and Bolt Ons

How many bolt ons can you go before you need a tune? I drive the truck almost every day and it's still under warranty. I have a Brute Force intake on it and that's it. Rest of motor is stock. What bolt ons can I do before tuning needs to take place. Please give details when talking about pulleys.

Thanks

With any pulley you really shoud get a tune for 2 reasons, the most important, for safety, second, to get the most power out of it. A 2lb pulley, CAI, should be fine on the stock tune. Some will even say that a 4lb pulley, CAI is fine, but I say no. Plus, you slap a 4lber on thier, you may only get 20-30whp out of it, with a tune you will get 40-50whp out of it, and you know for sure that your safe. Hell, even a tune on a stock truck is worth the money. Thier is alot of power left on the table with the factory tune.

So I could go with a 2 lb pulley, cai, and say a catback, maybe new plugs and wires and not have to get a tune? How much power would I be picking up? Also where is the closest place to tune in the state of Kentucky?

I did a tune first to baseline the truck..... I could not believe how much it improved the drivability. Do the tune anytime. You'll be pleased with the results!!!
