Tuning - Worth it?
Howdy folks,
Most of the threads I see aren't going to answer my questions directly so I apologise if there is another thread of its kind.
Basically, I wanted to get an UpRep tune by Church or Stillen (not sure who is better (I live in SoCal) also not sure how much I am going to benifit from it
I don't wanna spend 500+ bucks on something I wont notice.
Anyway, here is my mod list.
HKS True Duel Exhuast
Stillen Short Ram Intake
Janky Test Pipes
So, with those mods, is it worth getting a tune and will I honestly feel any difference?
Any comments? (flaming encouraged)

The fact that the tune corrected my engine knock and is now running much safer was well worth the price i paid. Plus the ability to switch maps between tuned map, economy map, and anti-theft map is also really useful. You won't notice the gains (10-15 peak whp is not really that noticeable) but you will notice smoother operation and better throttle response.
If you're planning to keep the car for a long period of time then i would do it.

Again if you would have just read the Top 100 FAQ or searched you would have seen this post:

Q: I got an intake, exhaust, headers, plenum spacer, and/or other mods. Do I need a reflash / tune?
A: Most people *will* benefit from either a reflash or tuning, even if you are lightly modded. THE BEST OPTION IS TO FINISH ALL OF YOUR BOLT-ON MODS BEFORE GETTING TUNED!!

You will definitely feel a notice with a tune. If you're planning on adding headers soon (seeing as that's the only next step when it comes to bolt ons), wait until then to get your tune done because re-tuning costs money too. Other than that, go for it.
