Worth it to get a tune right now? I had my transmission rebuilt recently with a Pro-Built performance kit which included a TransGo shift kit, and I have an MTI lid and Magnaflow catback. I can get a custom tune locally for $250 with adjustments for future mods included. At this point, the only thing I would get next would be a couple of high-flow cats if/when my stock ones go out. Right now, I don't plan on doing headers. So, would it be worth it to get a tune? Would I see much of an improvement in performance/quarter mile? Thanks.
I still need to fix the AC.

At this point, all a tuner is going to do is delete torque management and maybe adjust your shift points. $250 is stiff for that. You should be able to get it done for half that ... and if he's good guy, that'll include future (non-dyno) tuning updates at no cost.

I say wait until you get some major mods. Unless you can get it for 150.00 or less, I know in Oklahoma its not uncommon to get a basic tune with egr/air/fan turn on/rear o2's/tire size/gear change/torque managment delete for 75.00-100.00 easily...I say hit up one of the popular mail order guys on this board, they are sponsors and do it for far less than 250.00
