Should I tune my car.. I have a 02 SS w/slp lid/k&n filter/sheaders/slp-ypipe/slp-loudmouth/stock-cats/smooth-bellow/ported throttle body and was curious if I should tune my car (keep in mind that i'm not going to be doing anything else to it) and if I should get it tuned should I just get a shop to do it.. or just get a dumb hand held device which prob doesnt do anything.. but not wanting to pay alot of money since there is nothing really on my car except more air going in it... thanks.

If you're done modding for awhile like you say, then YES is the answer. Definitely. The only reason people don't get tunes after headers and other things is that they are waiting on more mods (cam, stall, etc.). You certainly will gain a lot from a tune, and not just a handheld programmer either. They have their place, and that's the garbage can. You are in the perfect situation to find a good shop and get a dyno tune
My dads corvette gained nearly 30hp with a tune.

If your absolutely done with mods (and your lying to yourself if you think you are) I would invest in a full Dyno tune. While it would cost more than a hand held ot mail order tune, it would be right.
