Default Do I need to have my car profesionally tuned?

I have 88 GT. Lots of upgrades. I was thinking about taking it and having it profesionally tuned. I was told needed a custom chip made for it beacause of the upgrades. It has a 96 cobra computer in a 88 GT with many mods. I had somebody else tell me you dont need to have anything done. What should I do have it tuned or order a chip or leave it be?

why do you have a 4.6 in a fox body? If you dont then why are you running a 96 computer?
