Default dyno tune gains?

i have a 02 m6 with CAI, bassani x-pipe and no cats or resonators, stock axle back. I was wondering what kind of #'s i'd get with a good dyno tune, and whether or not it's worth it? thanks

The tune is not really going to give big gains with the mods you have. 15 rwhp would be generous, but 10 rwhp would be more realistic.

i'm also going to get rid of the stock mufflers and replace with some straight pipes, then get it tuned. What do you think it"ll run in the 1/4, with as good of a launch as you can get on non-run flat street tires?

I would get a set of headers before I spent the money on getting it tuned. Your going to loss tq with the straight pipes you would be better off getting B&B bullets

dynos are wide open throttle devices....

To get a great tune with all-around drivablity/power improvements you should seek out a good street tune.
