Default Tune gains??????

Ok so here's the deal. I have an 02' T/A M6, Pacesetter LT's, Pacesetter ORY, SLP Loud Mouth II cat-back, no cats, CAGS!, K&N Filter with SLP lid, rebuilt transmission with Viper gears and steel shift forks.

No computer tune has been done since the work has been performed. I have all stock internals, stock injectors, rails, etc. I'm wondering what kind of gains I could expect from a full tune????? The guy that has the same set up as me said he gained about 48 rwhp with the addition of headers and ORY.

What are some similar gains people have seen???

Thanks in advance guys!

Bolt-on tune not that much. But if you had a cam, i think i gained 30hp off my tune.

thanks for the quick responses, I plan on getting a cam in a month or so, hopefully I'll be one of the rare factory freaks and pull some pretty good gains on the dyno, my last T/A was like that.

Been outta work for the past 5 months, finally got a good career going and got the itch to start working on the car again!

Bolt ons won't gain you much with tuning. 20rwhp tops, probably more like 10-15.
