As Humpin says, just getting the WOT a/f around 12.8 to 13/1 should be good for 15 to 20 hp. Also you can do stuff like turn your fans on earlier, delete DTCs, get rid of torque management, etc. Definitely worth it!

I picked up .2 at the track with tuning my bolt on car. 
It was much more responsive after tuning, if I would have leaned on it harder I could have probably picked up more. Not bad for couple weeks of tuning.

I know, the first day I almost ran off the road. Now I only look at it when stopped at traffic lights.
