do you even need a tune for headers?

you shouldn't "need" a tune but it will richen the car up. to get the most out of it you would want a tune. but if you are going to do something major like a cam/heads swap then you may as well wait until then to get a tune.

I personally gained nothing with LTs and ORY through a cutout (see sig) but i had the LS6 cam with relatively stock tunning for all of my mods.

They can definitely benefit from one.

so with no tuning for a little bit, it wont make a difference in power gains while its untuned?

It varies. But not by hardly anything,
