Default TUNE/nn THROTTLE BODY

Jus a question ive been wondering about. How much rwhp or at the crank can i expect to get out of a custom tune and a bigger throttle body? Along with the rest of my mods listed in my sig.

going from no tune to a dynotune you could pick up ~5-25 rwhp from what you have. throttle body at the mod level you are at will be useless a big waste of money, spend it on something else that will actually give you horsepower or performance. i.e. tires, suspension, gears, gas.

Not too sure about the tune part. I know a lot of guys I have talked with say you can gain anywhere from 15-25 ponies with a tune. Throttle Body side of things you won't gain much of anything..maybe 2-3hp if that.
