To tune or not to tune

To tune or not to tune
I'm trying to see if I would gain a significant amount of hp gain from a tune. Currently I have the stillen intake, 5/16" plenum, test pipes, 2.5" custom axle back and the oem midpipe resonator deleted(makes no diff. but thought to include anyway). Im not to familiar with tuning the g's so I was going to wait until i went true dual for max hp gain but now that money is tight im not sure i can, unless i get an X02 which i would be glad to pick up... So would someone let me know if tuning my car would be worth it with my current setup?... im trying to accomplish 10-15hp from this and top speed limiter delete. Thanks.

A "Tune" is worth the cost even if you have zero mods! Mods like spacers, HFC's/Test Pipes and exhaust will only benefit from a tune. On top of a HP increase a quality tune offers flexibility thru throttle response which makes your G way more fun to drive and easier to get in trouble....

[QUOTE=Jairen;5273823] Look at my a/f ratio on my dyno below.
Those gains are enough to convince me but one thing... id prefer to not have to switch to a different exhaust, but if the gains from true dual are much higher along with the tune it may be worth it, any thoughts or is my current setup more than enough? Also Im assuming some applications are possible to simply retune if I went true dual in the future, am I correct? I have a pretty good idea of what i am trying to do im just trying to get some good opinions. Thanks to all that replied!
