if you dont modding yes if not then no..you probably see about 10hp and 10tq with the tune..always worth it to get your A/F corrected so your not running rich or lean.

i think it's worth it just to get the throttle lag gone.

but in the end, it's up to the person paying for it.

On a $/hp scale it is definitely not worth it but that is simply due to the platform that we are running. If you are not going to go FI, then bolt on's and a tune is all you can do for any decent hp increase. In the grand scheme of things it is VERY costly though.

You can get away without having it tuned but seeing as you probably paid more than $600 for the exhaust alone and the tune will probably net just as much or possibly more HP/TQ, then it is worth it.

Really , to get the throttle lag gone ? It still has lag even after the tune and touch ups here and there ...

With your mods and if u have a good tuner it is worth it . Just make sure your tuner is worth a crap .

It depends on the person, if you ask me and having gone through it all, I would say all N/A mods are not worth it lol

Idk what your tuner did then, cuz mine had to put a little lag back in my throttle cuz I couldn't drive where he set it at due to me bouncing the pedal.

275 HP with mod's before tune (@wheels)
304 HP after tune

Also, +3 mpg on the highway
25.7 mpg @ 80 mph, 3400 rpm, interstate

I think it was worth it

Agree 100% I gained the same. But the best gains are in the mid range, Just wakes the car up and more fun to drive

are there any tuners that remap the throttle so its not so touchy from a dead stop? something more linear would be nice

Rad_Slinger

they can pretty much do whatever you want to it.

i had that "touchy" from dead stop and from shifting. all he did was put a little delay in it to smoothe it out a little

delay might not be a good thing for me, i already think the downshifting is as slow as a snail, unless that's also possible to remove

after replacing the pads and fluid (stoptech pads and motul rbf600), fixing the touchy pedal and removing the downshift delay this car would be pretty much the perfect daily driver to me

I say it's a great idea. You can have the tuner design it to what you want if they are good. I am planning on getting mine done too once I have saved up the money.
