as you've seen, it will run fine...but not the best it can. A good dyno tune will max out the efforts of mods and make it run better with more power across the curve. Results I've seen on dyno sheets are 15-30 hp.

i might hold off on the dyno tune for a bit and play with the tune myself to see what i can get it to do.

I went a couple months between my lt install and tune, no problems. But I was easy on the right foot, not wanting to cause any problems due to possibly affecting the airflow. You will be fine, btw what brand are you looking at? You may want to consider one where removal is not needed when needing to get to the transmission...I went with hooker which has this advantage.
