Default dyno tune or handheld. basic bolt ons.

I am doing basic bolt ons for now. catback, lid, p&p tb. With headers and a came atleast in the distant future. Should I get a dyno tune or just go with a handheld for now. I need to lower my fan temp and delete the rear o2's.

Dyno. You will be happier and get much more out of it. Plus you will know your numbers.

Hand held. A dyno tune is not necessary at this point & waiting later to dyno tune depends on how much you plan to modify the car in the future. If you plan on going cam-heads-intake, or forced induction (or both), then I would save your money & dyno tune then. How many times you want to tune your car is up to you, & the size of your wallet. I guess I'm a cheap old man.

I'd go for Dyno, that's what I did before I even did Headers, while it's a pain getting a re-tune due to my work schedule it'll only be $100. ($300 initial dyno tune) It was worth knowing what my numbers were and having a tune specifically for my car.

As it turns out I found a good deal on some headers, so Im going full exhaust really soon and I found a dyno tune for pretty cheap so I think I am gonna go that way.
