I got 20whp out of my tune alone. How is that not worth it combined with better A/F ratios. It probably took two of my breather mods to equal that. Which would be more than a tune. Now given not all are gong to get this much whp all the time. But on avg at least 10. In which you get the most out of your mods. And also correct the A/F which is a win win.

I'm sure a tune is all beneficial to the mods currently on the OP's car, but remember to add a couple hundred dollars to have an authorized uprev tuner shop do the dyno tune. More time and money wasted to make appointments and getting there. Just from reading threads in the past on this forum, the gains just doesn't justify the cost of getting the tune.
All the tune does is balances out the a/f ratio and nothing else really. No launch control, no VVEL modifiers, no raising the rev limiter, etc. If you got the money to spend, feel free to get the tune. But if you want to chose one over another, get the rims first. Rims add a "wow" factor to your sports car. It's not like you go out racing every weekend, line up with other cars on the streets like you've got something to prove, or redline through every stop light, do you?
Basic bolt ons will change the a/f ratio, but it's not like your motor is going to blow up or anything like that without the tune. Get some nice rims.
