Default hp tuners?

Looking at getting a friend of mine to tune my vette for me with hp tuners. he is very reasonable, and states that he will not do anything crazy on the car, and only use proven methods as to not do any damage. What benefit can i expect from a tune? car is pretty stock. Has CAI, de-screened MAF, and a smooth coupler (which looks nice, but does nothing else, lol).

there is a lot to be gained from the TM tables, and the fact everything will be calibrated to YOUR specific car, not a flow bench..... you should pick up a few ponies but have realistic expectations!

I'm awaiting to hear the de-screened MAF debate start up

I know, the MAF is great for some and other think your car will instantly catch fire. Made my decesion based on the fact that later c5z don't have one, and with an upcoming engine tune should be good. My expectations really are a total of maybe 10-15 over stock with cai, maf, and tune.
