Is it because I need a tune? I recently had a set of Kooks headers/catted Y installed on my T/A. Now, the car seems to be sputtering a bit, bucking a little, when cruising around. I have not gotten a tune yet, but could a tune be what the problem is?
Basically, the Mods are: Kooks headers, GmmG catback, march underdrive pulley. Is that enough to through the stock tune out of wack?

If you take it somewhere and ask for a tune, make sure you specify the driveability issues you're having. Otherwise, they might just kill some codes, throw it on the dyno, dial in WOT, and hand you the keys and a bill.
There are good tuners and shops out there. But, don't assume they all are decent. The other option you have is to spend a little more and get your own software. There are people that will help you here if you can't get past what's spelled out in the instructional files in the stickies.
