if you're not boosted you do not need a tune, you're just throwing your money away unless you're trying to squeeze every hp out of your current set up. the stock computer is very adaptive. there are people with some pretty wicked builds on here with the stock computer.

primetime has a 347 stroker HCI and all the bolt ons on the stock computer

like my cohort said.. no need to tune a computer with just bolt ons, I have a 347 with pretty much every bolt on you can think of and it ran great on a stock computer, the only thing I did was mess with the air/fuel on a dyno

I am running a 306, heads, aggressive cam, headers, intake, different MAF, different injectors, and zero smog.... I do not need a tune, I am no where close to needing it. However I am purchasing a Tweecer RT because I just put nitrous on the car and i want to be able to swap between regular and n2o setup on the fly and to watch out for lean conditions. But that is all.
