Default Dyno tuning?

Is it worth it if my car isn't S/C or turbo'd? I always hear people talking about doing a dyno tune and I wanted to know if its worth doing. I dont know if it makes any difference but what I know has been done to my GT is a bigger throttle body, injectors, exhaust system, CAI, 4:10 gears, lowered, aluminum radiator, and I am sure theres more, just haven't looked any further than all of that.

Would getting a dyno tune help me out? I guess I am just looking to squeeze out any amount of HP I can get before spending thounsands.

Also what would it roughly cost to get this done? If I remember correctly I think I saw a local shop website saying it'd be like $400, but I can't be sure.

Thanks,

Josh

I think it's worth it.That's what I paid when I did my 4v swap.

A "hand's on "custom tune (done using a dynamometer or not) is always worth it, even on a dead stock car...

Idk if you bought your car like that or not but if you did I would try to find out if it ha been tuned already. With the money that someone put into it surely they would have it tuned. Especially with the larger tb injectors and gears.

Can the shop I'd take it to for a tune find out if it has a tune? If it does that'd be awsome and i'd just like to see how much power she has haha.

Also I had a question hopefully someone can answer, Can they give me a stock tune back if I needed it without costing me hundreds of $$?

Thanks,

Josh
