Tuning will help a stock car! Let alone a car with multiple modifications. It will definately be worth it. www.madz28.com

It's definitely worth it. I gained 31rwhp just from tuning (madz28.com) and an LT4km. Of course that's on an LT4 that had stock LT1 tune, but still I'd expect really nice gains with your setup as well.

Definetly worth it. Drivability will increase tenfold, and you'll see 20+ horses easy with a setup like yours. Another vouch for madz28.com, Ion does great work

I have the basic stock 97 with a4 . the only mods are 160 thermo,throtle bypass, cold air intake,tranny cooler,maf descreening. Is it worth it yet or should I wait to get the cat back on?And if so what will I gain?

With only K&N FIPK and cutout I improved 1 tenth and 1 mph from my madwolf tune. Well worth the $$!
