meh... hard to tell... you're not very heavily modded, but the TB, Intake, headers do change the characteristics of the engine

Looks like you have the stock MAF still which is good... hypertech tune doesn't do much... leans the mixture out, boosts timing in some areas, best way to tell is at the track... if the car runs better MPH w/the HPP3 tune in, keep it, if not dump it

If you ever plan on having a custom tune done though... remove everything so that you can resell your HPP3, then have the tuner make any changes required

I'd keep the changes you can make for trans and gears. But, ditch the performance tune.

I had one for years. It was good for the following:
Shift firmness
Different tire sizes
Changing differential gear
I could tell no difference with or without the "performance tuning".
I am very glad that I sold mine and used that money toward real tuning software. Much, much better; more flexible, more adjustments, etc.
More difficult to use, unfortunately.
