do not NEED a tune but a tune would help...i would dyno tune it...especially if you don't plan on big mods in the next 6 months (cam, heads, or forced induction)

Every car could use a tune, even if stock. Like 777 said, if thats all you plan on doing for a LONG time, get it tuned. I'd say wait till you've for a few more mods before you start to worry about it.

I waited until i got a cam. Turned out to be over a year and a half, and I would have been better off scraping money together for a tune after the headers and a re-tune with the cam.

I wouldnt waste $$ on a tune with boltons, Id wait till I got a cam or heads/cam or whatever you were going to do so it'd actually be worth the money to get a dyno tune.

to re-dyno tune is like $150 (if you go to the same place)...i don't see that wasting money for the power and driveability in the mean time...not to mention it is better for your car and gas...you could prolly pay for your tune in gas money saved over the time that he will be waiting to do those other mods
