Should I Dynotune?

I am having LTs/ORY/Catback/3.73s put on my Lid/TB/LS6 A4 TA. I know I'm gonna have codes and speedo to fix but should I spend the money and get a full dynotune now with just bolt-ons? I'm gonna do a cam this fall and will have to do it then for sure. What you think??

I had someone mention that I could get a few HP and it run a little more smoothly if I did it. I know most people don't, probably because of the money. I was just curious.

Tune it now. Most places only charge a discounted price for retunes and you may pick up 20-25 hp with a tune on your current mods.

Yeah thats what I would say to do, get it tuned now and then get the retune when the cam is in like previously mentioned most places will charge little bit to retune it, like $500 initialy and maybe $100 to retune

I paid 300 for the initial Dyno Tune and picked up 23 rwhp with the tune alone. THen I just paid 50 for my flash tune for my H/C package and now its a solid 150 for Dyno Tune from here on out. Its way worth it.
