Would it be a good idea to tune my mostly stock gt? I have cai, x pipe, cat-back exhaust, short shifter..what gains would i see?

It wouldnt hurt anything but i dont think your mods really need a tune.

Yea definitely wouldn't hurt, especially if you plan on adding more mods down the road.

If you want a tuner grab one of those hand-held ones, like the predator.
But you won't need a "real" tune until you throw some power adders in there.

I think all cars would benefit from a tune as the stock calibrations are pretty conservative. Its been my experience that a good tune on a car like yours would give you about 15 RWHP at peak RPM. The other benefit would be the improvement in HP and TQ across the whole RPM range. Thier would be a noticable improvement in your low and midrange power as well, improving your throttle response and driveablility. Many other little settings can be customized in your tune as well but thats mostly a personal preference thing.
