How much would a tune help me now?

Ok I already had a tune done on my car with every mod in the sig except my LT's. All emmision equipment has been tuned out. The only difference I would add in this tune is that I have long tube headers. Would this provide any performance gain at all? I mean its only 50 bucks for a retune so I figure it might be worth it.

Long tubes lean out the a/f mixture a little bit so a tune would help correct that. It won't be a seat of the pants difference though, but for fifty bucks, its your call.

For fifty bucks just get your tune upgraded. Who knows, maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised.

The only mods I have planned within the next 6 months is a new clutch, eletric w/p and 1.6 rockers. I am gonna do a cam over by summer break so I might just wait until then. I kinda wanna use PCM4Less anyway.
