Default SHOULD I GET CUSTOM TUNING?

My car is a year and 5 months old with 16,000 miles on it. There is a club tune where i live coming up and i said that i would do it. With the mods that i have, basically the one "biggy" being the headers which could throw off A/F mixtures and what not, should i get one? Before the headers i had 330hp and 345 tq. And that is on the stock clutch so thats starting to go. Hence next thing ill get is a clutch versus more power, except maybe a pulley. Now of course i dont have anything dramatic like i mentioned but everyone always says a tune in pretty good, afterall ive never even ATAPed it. So what do you guys think?

It's up to you <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

if you're running lean tuning will definetly help... but it's a matter of will it help enough to justify the money

If the tuning is 500 bux and you pick up 10 rwhp... is it really worth 50 bux a rwhp?

OK I ATAPED MY CAR TODAY!

Im forget what is lean and rich but i do know 14 is rich so... at idle and until i did my WOT run, i was at 14.6:8 (thats what my friend said but i think its always :1 isnt it?) and then at WOT to redline it went to 11.1:1. So tune or no tune. And i asked in another post if it was worth getting a MAFT.
