ur lucky cause you have a carb. you just tune it with a screwdriver.

with all the mods done to my car it has never seen a custom tune, im sure thats one reason. plus maybe leaky injectors?

You can't mod an EFI car and not tune it if you want it to run right. And carburetors may be easier and cheaper to tune, but 1) most people don't know how, and 2) carbs just don't get as good a mileage, generally.

my air and fuel system is stock so im not in dire need of a tune, and im not complaining either. just stating the obvious about a tune. and if you DO know how to tune a carb you can get them pretty efficient (not as good as a properly tuned EFI of course) but damn close
