I am not convinced a tune is necessary for our cars if we are just adding exhaust and intake mods.
Not true, The stock throttle tables and "lame". The gains are off tuning the throttle tables, which in turn lets you adjust timing and fuel. with Intake and just a catback I mae 298 WHP. True my tune only netted me 2 WHP over the stock file( 296 WHP) but my throttle response was greatly improved along with the shift firmness and I pick up 15+ in the mid range.

UPREV told his tuner( Very very Good tuner) that the New 2014's throttle tables are locked and cannot be adjusted.
