Obviously the car will run better with tune and gain power but your talking about $600 dollars a tune for just N/A mods. If you were F/I, you have to have a tune to run the car.

That being said, most will go UpRev if they have Gen 3's, cat-back and HFCs, which will dial in the A/F ratio, and pick up 8-10whp..
Most people do not go with the headers as most already know that they don't do much. Only proven header is the FI LTH. Other than that most have ran the car with I/HFC or TP/ CBE without issues.

But would you pay $600 every time you added a bolt on? All I suggested is that he get all that then tune. Not everyone has $$$$ disposable to shell out for a tune after a $300-500 mod was added.
