My '99 TA WS6 is almost stock.

I run a Whisper lid with a K&N high flow and an SLP Loudmouth.

Would I see any worthwhile benefit from a tuning?

Thanks,
John

It COMPLETELY depends on what you consider "worthwhile."

Speed limiters, shift points/rev limiter, WOT timing, WOT fueling, fans if you have a thermostat.

If you want general "guess'" of overall power increases . . . anywhere from maybe ~10-20 rwhp on your year car depending on mileage, wear etc.

Obviously if you learned to do your own tuning it would ALWAYS be worthwhile

If you're paying someone $300-500 to "dyno-tune" your car as is; not worth it IMO.

I just did my car, granatelli lid and dynomax bullet muffler and I picked up 11 WHP and 20 lbs tq and better fuel economy because I was running pretty rich. and it gives you a benchmark for when you start modding more.

I forgot to mention part-throttle fueling improvement

We see anywhere from 15-20 RWHP gain when we tune stock, or mostly stock vehicles. Generally there is a 1-2MPG increase in fuel economy also.

I agree with the possible results of tuning alone that have been stated, they are real. I do think that for most folks, the benefits of adding a simple major bolt on like LT's / or a converter are worth waiting for in the grand scheme of things. It is a highly personal decision.

Thanks for the replies!

I've been running these basic mods for about 7 or 8 years now.
Apparently the fuel savings alone would have been worth the cost of the tune.
I appreciate the input!
