    NEED a tune for a top swap.

    Unless you plan on reusing your L36 injectors and TB.

    Which should never happen.

    NEED is a strong word. As long as you're on a 3.8 pulley and don't abuse the car a GTP tune should be sufficient.

    That is one of those things that will never be confirmed though.

    Still won't.

    GTP PCM will have GTP trans settings which will not work with a GT transmission.

    why would you topswap just to not abuse the car? why most people add power lols.

    To the op, do you want any mpg's? cam,rockers will take that away alot more then the other mods you asked about..
    topswap will also if your in the pedal alot.
