Default simple exhaust question

i got my LM2, o/r Y and SLP LTs installed today! i can definitely feel a power increase from the stock exhaust. would a tune make a difference or would it be better to wait until i get my cam in a few months?

Definitely wait until you get a cam in.

You might look around at some shops and see what they charge for a retune after the initial tune. Some just charge dyno time, and so do the next tune for free. But if you're unsure, then I would wait until after the cam goes in. Unless you want to know the hp increases for each set of mods..

actually a local shop said theyd charge a lil more for the first tune and little to nothing for every tune after that! although they said the tune for the heads would be a bit more, not sure why though?

the biggest thing was i didnt know if it would make any significant difference w/ or w/o the tune?
