Get a dyno tune or use Predator for now? I want your guys opinions. Late March I will have a full exhaust (American Racing Headers w/catted y, GMMG cat-back), JAAM Ram Air Kit, FTP lid with upgraded MAF, & K&N filters. I'm not planning on doing engine work (cam, heads, etc.) until end of the year/early next year.
So should I stick with the Predator for now and get a dyno tune when I do the engine work or do a dyno now as well?

I would dish out the extra money for the dyno. You don't NEED it but you might as well since you're willing to spend the $310 or so on the handheld. With the dyno, at least you will know where you stand power wise and most shops that I know of will re-tune it for free or very little charge once you get it done the first time.

I don't know what you mean by "upgraded MAF" or which version of
Predator, but the old one won't touch the MAF table. A non-stock
MAF calibration needs more attention than you will get in your time
on the rollers. Might want to consider what you're planning and why.
