Default Will a tune be worth it...???

I have an '01 SS with SLP lt's, ORY, cut-out, stock muffler...

I have a whisper lid, ported tb and soon to put in my Yank 3500 stall.

It seems to be running rich, which I've heard can be normal with the exhaust set up?

Anyways, I was thinking about getting it tuned after I put in some NGK TR55, MSD wires and new O2's...Would it be worth it? Will I gain any hp or MPG or anthing from it... Or is it potentially bad for it? I'm kinda confused? Any help would be great. Thanks.

My car runs fine untuned with longtubes + TD's, but every car is different. You'll probably gain 15-18 rwhp with a tune. I would'nt do it if you're planning on more mods/cam swap soon, because then you'll have to spend more money on another tune.

base if you are going to get a tune yet depending when you are going to do your next serious mod. your car is fine now, just the LTFT's are a little high probably. nothing to worry about as the car will take care of itself, you just might not be getting all the power out of it

So even if I put a 3500 stall in it...I don't need to get it tuned?
