Default do you think a tune would help this setup alot

heres my setup , do you think a tune would help this run alot better and gain more power if so about how much. Right now i just have a stock tune in the car

th400 3500 stall
1 3/4 long tube headers
very mild ported 241 heads
zo6 cam

cold air intake
30 lb injectors

The cam and engine would pick up somewhat off of a tune, but the injectors really need to be corrected. The car would make more power and should be more streetable as well with a tune.

That's because the PCM thinks it has a smaller injector, so it's keeping it open longer than it should.

A decent mail order tuner can probably get you just about as close as a dyno tune for no more than you have done. And depending on which tuner you go with it will probably be a better overall tune with mail order. And it would be much cheaper.
