Default Tune or not tune lightly modified VQ35DE

looking for arguments in weather or not one should tune the ECU, piggy back or use a SAFMS. should i or should i not do one of the above if i have headers, test pipes with cats, headers,pop charger,exhaust and plenum spacer, short shifter, 3.9 gears. your input will be appriciated. looking for arguments for or against tuning the engine or should i just wait to do anything and just save for F/I and then do stand alone ?

just go get a utec... tune it with the mods you have. it will be a big difference in power... and then you will have it there if you go boost.
remember that your not getting all your power from your mods right now and a tune will make a huge difference

questions concerning the mass airflow sensor and the stock ecu how much extra air flow can you put into the engine beofore the o2 sensors and maf meter start confusing the computer to where the ecu wont open the fuel injectors enough. to match the amount of fuel to air. will the ecu keep from letting the injectors going more than the safe limit of the duty cycle for the injectors?
