I want to set the action on my strat a little higher to allow for better sounding/easier playing slide guitar. If I raise it, even just slightly, will my intonation change?

Edit: I just had it intonated by a tech last week.

Yes, but the difference may be small enough that you don't need to worry about it. You might want to have a tech with a strobe tuner check it out after you adjust it.

Anything that moves string to fretboard distances around should always be finished with an intonation tweek.
