Default Dyno tune gains

I know this is a very blunt question. How much hp do you think i can gain with a dyno tune. I'm getting one done next month but I have know clue what to expect. Will it be a 10hp gain or 50hp. I will have 24lb injectors installed as well then.

it all depends on who tunes your car and how good they are. I have seen people dyno tune 15-20 hp out of a bone stock car

dyno tune is when you bring your car to a performance shop, they strap it on a dyno, and adjust stuff in your computer to make your car run better

you do not need, nor can you use a handheld tuner, like the diablo sport predator.. they are OBD2 only

i know there will be more replies on this...but...when they strap your car down they stick two probes kinda like the smog police have and when your car is underload it real read your exhaust to see if you are rich or lean..the one i go to has a egt reader..and i think that is more usefull...anyways your air to fuel can be manipulated by fuel pressure,and timing...if you have no chip being burnt...never let anybody charge you $$$$ if that all you got to be changed...it's not like they can change your shift points injector spread.....if you know what to do then do it yourself
