Default should i tune my pcm???????????

i just installed midlength headers with no cats and i was wondering if i should get my pcm reflashed. i have other mods done to my car that are in my sig. i figure it's not important that i do tune the pcm but how much will it help? i was thinking pcmforless.com to do the tuning.

Ditch that MAF and get the tune, you will kick yourself for not having done it sooner.

im holding off on a custom tune until i get into the internals, the pp3 is working fine for me at the moment. people say having an aftermarket MAF makes the engine really hard to tune so i would talk to the tuner about this and see what he recommends
