Dyno tune after headers? Should I get a dyno tune after my headers are installed? Will it hurt the engine if I don't do this? Also if I get a dyno tune is there any real point of getting a hypertech or diablo programmer?
do not get a hypertech or diablo.... they suck ***.... if you buy anything get hp tuners or efi live. getting a dyno tune will give you more horse power, but it wont hurt if you dont do it. headers allow you to up the timing a bit..
I had the same question...im putting some headers on saturday and my buddy said i should probably get a tune, but i REALLY dont want to come off of $450 bucks just for that...decisions, decisions
300.00 tops for a tune with only a couple of mods like that.

Yeah, $450 for a bolt on tune is BS, I charge about half that at my shop, and there are good mail order tunes out there also. A tune by itself my not be necessary, but it does get the most out of the $ you have already spent for parts.
