how much will tune help with my headers?

I already have a tune, but I just installed LT headers and ORY so I took out the rear 02's, cats, and A.I.R so I think I will need a tune again. I figure its not running perfect now since I got the front 02's cats and all that out so shouldn't I gain a little bit with a retune?

you will probably see a little gain, but it usually depends on the car

Not much...id wait until you actually need another tune (cam,etc.). That why I waited until all my bolt ons were done.

def get it tuned dude. putting headers on really opened the exhaust up so ur air fuel mixture will need to be adjusted.
