Do you need a tune after headers? No, alot of guys drive around with LT's untuned for years until they do a cam or other bigger mods. But it will help your car perform at its maximum potential. Although it wont hurt anything

I never got a tune for my LT's. I did have to get my brother to delete some codes for me though like rear 02. The car ran great. I would have it tuned with bigger mods for best bang for buck

You will gain more power if you get the tune. However dont be afraid to buy longtubes if you can't afford the tune
