Default Do I need a tune?

Got an 01 ws6 m6 and it has been my dd about 3 months now with no real issues. When i bought the car the only mods i was told the only mods were longtube headers, ory (no cats), and the slp lm1 exhaust. Ive driven several of these cars and this one seems to be a lil slower than others, hell my old lt1 Z felt stronger...dont get me wrong, its no slouch, just seems like its lacking a little. The ses light is on and i know for a fact the car is running on the rich side. Also, the car doesnt skip shift but sometimes the light will come on in 1st??? If someone put that skip shift elim on it wouldnt that light not show up??? Do i need a mail order tune at this point? Was thinking about going with frost if i do....any suggestions? Thanks alot.

based on your info id say you need a tune badly.

find a local reputable tuner to hook you up.

Dont know of anywhere local that can dyno tune it, thats why i was leaning towards a mail order tune. A mail order tune would be fine with the minimal upgrades i have wouldnt it? Also to have it tuned by frost it would only be $150 and a few days turnaround time...doeant seem too bad.
