Default Is this worth it?

Is it worth it to spend the money and get a tune for a stock LS1 Camaro with and intake and LT's, ORY and catback? I am about to put wrapped SS LT's on my car and im wondering if it would be worth it to have the car dyno tuned with a Dynojet?

If you have longtubes, yes it is worth it to get the tune. The car can drive around without the tune but it's prefferable to get it. If you plan on throwing in a cam or nos soon you could hold off.

It's worth it if you'll be done for now. I'm with these guys though, if you're gonna do more soon then wait on the tune.
