If you find someone to do it cheap then go for it but if not save the money

There's some nice power to be picked up from a tune, but you're not in real need of it yet. The shorty headers are not good for much power over stock, any reason you went with those instead of LTs?

If you can find a place that does free/cheap re-tunes and you plan on doing more mods in the fututre, it's a great idea.

I went with the shorties in fear of California's emission laws. Your definitally right about the power, but they made a nice sound difference.

I would get the tune. Once you have it re-tunes are peanuts.
