No no tune needed. You might get 10hp from a tune added to the 3-5hp from the TB/plenum. Not worth the money

you truly don't even need to get it tuned after gears. you just need a conversion, which you can buy from americanmuscle i believe. if you get a tune, i would go with brenspeed and just have them send you a canned one and upload that into your car because you don't have enough mods to warrent a dyno tune
