Got my 2019 GT350 during the winter here in the Northeast so car is tucked away.
I'm considering two engine upgrades. First is the addition of a K & N Cold Air Intake. It doesn't require a tune per the manufacturer.
At that point I won't have set any codes - critical as here in MA if a code is set car will not pass inspection.
Next I am considering a ported throttle body - the standard TB that comes with the car, not a larger diameter one. The person that would do it is famous in the Corvette world a has done many Corvettes over the years with no codes set. He has done a couple of GT350's but not enough to know if customers have had any code problems, if they even have to worry about them. The problem is that the problem is additive in that each succeeding air flow increase runs the risk of setting a code.
I would like any experience or even technical guesses as to whether my car's stock software can handle the these two additions without setting a code. I've done both additions to my Corvette C7 Z06 with no problem, but in that case, the 2016 Z06 software is much less sensitive to airflow increases than a 2017, even though both appear to have identical factory hp and torque specs.
