you could probably wait. i would pay no more then 250 for a bolt on tune, but it really depends on the area

don't waste money on a bolt on tune. Get a cam, heads or both then tune it.

Yea don't pay for a tune until you have more mods. Unless you have a full intake and exhaust, or cam, you probably are better off NOT spending the $400-500 to get a tune, until later on down the road.

I say maybe 20 rwhp with those mods...also as everyone else said wait on the tune until you get a cam as its not worth the marginal power increase you will get from the tune.
