Wait til you are done modding. You wont see that huge of a gain, and you will have to retune everytime you add a new mods. Its not worth it.

yea if you are going to get headers in the near future you should just wait. i know ppl that have the whole exhaust done and don't get a tune because its not as important when the mods just increase air flow

Alright, i'll wait. Plus, i could use a tune for my speedo so it can correct it because i have my 3.73's in. I know it's 5 off but sometimes i forget.
