Question is it worth doing a dynotune on a 89 n/a mustang

hey guys wanted to get my car dynotuned from a shop out in L.I realspeed and was speaking to someone and they told me a dynotune for my car would be worthless to 10hp if that,that it is only for cars with nos or supercharged does anybody no it this is true??
my car runs the stock a9p computer i have
306 with 11.1 comp f303 cam prom-80 edel rpm head that are ported edel rpm intake 24lbs injectors 373 gears long tube headers and no smog at all, also do you think i would be able to put a procharger on with 11.1 comp?

with a h/c/i you will benefit from a dynotune. i would think you'd see more than 10whp, plus i'm sure your car would run better as a whole.

about the s/c, i would not put one on a motor with that high of compression, you'd have to run race gas or meth for just like 8lbs.
