Basically this is my question. Can i benefit from dyno tuning even though i have only bolt ons and a High stall convertor.
Is it worth the time and money at this level?

yes its worth it. at the least you can raise your torque management, raise your rev limiter and adjust your shift points. And see if you can get it tuned while on the gas that will help too.
BTW hows the rasp with that bullet in the I? is it 12 or 18??

Drew i have almost no RASP at all with the bullet. It is the 12".
I already have Diablo Predator tuning and shift points adjusted along with the reduction in torque managment that the Predator offers,just wondering if a full tune would net me more power and or torque.
Since adding the long tubes i had to pull 5% fuel at WOT and set timing back to stock with the Predator. Still runs kinda rich though.
Thanks for the info.
