Default How much would an actual dyno tune help?

My car has been tuned by a an average joe with a laptop. It runs good as far as drivability goes but I think It may have more power tucked in it somewhere. The car has heads that flow a little bit better than Lloyd stage 2's and a cc306 cam with full boltons. It ran a 12.1 on a stock suspension and 10 bolt with 4.10s. Do you guys think a dyno tune would help me out or just be a waste of money?

There is no substitute to a proper logged dynotune.

My tuner got me 30 to the wheels over a popular mailorder tune on my H/C stalled auto, plus gas mileage and driveability increased. I was very impressed.

It sounds like you have a safe tune already, so why not spend the money getting yourself set up to datalog and tune it at the track. Dyno improvements don't allways show up in the real world.
