Default Another Tune or no tune...?

Same question for me guys: Mods are(even if they are trivial):

SLP STB
SLP SFC's
SLP Flowpac
Holley Air Filter
P/P Throttle Body
Bump Stop Mod
SLP Y-Pipe
Cut Out
!MAF Screen
TB Bypass


By spring I'll probably have a torque converter and gears waiting to be put in... what do you guy's think?

if you want the full potential of the mods you just put on, I would do it now, and later when you get more stuff it wont be that hard to tune and it will be cheaper.

YEah, the susp mods don't really matter w/ a PCM reprograming.

Once you get headers...LS1 edit BTW... a Guy at ESP told me that the headers flow more and your o2's think it lean, so it in turn richens your mixture. I got 37.8 hp from a tune after headers. Was 299 before tune after LT's and ran 336 after tune (RW #'s)... (dyno papers in my link in sig)

YEah, wait till h/c or LT's and ory....or ctd Y.... FI or what not...
