Only if they do it right

Yes, most mods change enough things in the way a motor runs that it will be beneficial to have a tune.

It also depends on what you expect and what you are willing to spend

Well, i already had one done nd the only new performance mod that i have done since is the catback. so i don't know if there will be much benefit and even if i do it, i don't think it would be expensive since they have already worked on it before....

Well a lot of people do the cat back thing and don't re tune the car so you can also wait until you have more stuff added and then have a qualified place fine tune the timing and fuel tables to the mods...

I'm gonna half-assedly hijack here. So...are you saying that unless you go as far as cams/heads you don't need a dyno tune? So, with just bolt ons, a handheld tuner will be sufficient? I'm thinking as far as CAI, headers, mid-pipe, catback, plenum/TB, udp, and gears...I 'm probably forgetting something.
