I've found conflicting information around the tune for the GM version, is it really necessary or is it simply for emissions?

to the forums, and congratulations on your beast

I'd hold off on a CAI, or any performance upgrade for that matter, at least for a while until you get comfortable with the car. I had the GM intake, it is practically a "looks only" upgrade even with the GM tune, and a quite expensive one at that.

For example, you'd be much better off spending your money on the BMR rear cradle lockout kit to improve rear end stability under load, which I presume is what you bought the 1LE for.
