Default no tune?

will it be THAT bad if i dont get the tune after some long tubes?
i want to buy some coated pacesetters, but dont know anyone around the area who can tune and besides, i dont have the funds for it...

also, what kind of 1/4 mile improvements can i expect from this?

almost all of the major sponsors carry them, and they are usually for sale in the sales forum a lot, they are that expensive probably no more than 80 bucks

I have Hedman LT hedders ory no tune,no sims either,just have the ses light on.I will get a tune and delete the function of the rear 02 sensors to get rid of the ses light.so when I do my converter and cam swap here in the next wk or so I will get the tune then. other than that the car runs great no issues with it and as far as gas smell from behind the car the only ones that complain are the ricers mustangs that are in my rear view.
