Default Is it worth tuning yet?

As of now, my current upgrades are a Z1 CAI, plenum spacer, and Tomei Expreme Ti cat-back exhaust. In the future (not for at least a year), I am going to be getting larger intake tubing, larger throttle body, and complete the exhaust system upgrade. Is it worth tuning it now? Or should I wait?

Eh, I'd tune it but that's me. $1000 for the initial tune + cable, then $150 for retune with Admin. Wasting $150 in a year (if you do it in a year exactly) is $12.50 a month to enjoy your car more. Pretty cheap if you ask me.

Z1 down here charges $600 for your base UpRev tune and dyno testing. If you revise your setup a re-tune is $125. Check with your local shop, if you pay full price twice I'd say no but if they give a repeat discount why wait? You'll definitely enjoy 25-40 more hp!

Very worth it. A proper tune (dyno tune is not necessary BTW for your level of mods) will make the car WAY more fun to drive. NA you will never make huge HP numbers, but it will be way more fun to drive. Plus once you own the license/ cable a retune is much cheaper.

Worth every penny. These are very hard to find and are great.
