Do I need a tune?

Ok so I just put my headers in, got rid of the cats, and put a 3 inch cutout in.
Idk exactly how much hp I gained, but to me I'm just not noticing it. I'm wondering if a tune would help. Or if this is normal.
I'm done modding for a while

tune would help, but most people wait until after a few more mods.
Its all about how much $$ you want to spend.

Well I'm pretty much done with mods. I want a good dd. Your sig says you have ebay headers, and that's what I put on, did you feel a big difference in power?

Honestly, only a minor power increase. I'm getting a tune as soon as I install my ls6 intake.

If anything gas mileage will improve with a tune.

Mail in tune from frost is $150, $225 from texas speed.
I havent gotten a tune because i havent done anything to my car yet, next summer i got big plans though, and a tune should always be the last of your mods.
Its also smart to put all your mods in at once just to save time.
