Default dyno tunes- how much HP increase, how much $

I've read in the forum of guys getting significant ( 20- 30 HP ) increases with just a good dyno tune. Is this possible?

Also, how much should a good dyno tune cost? It's worth the cost for those kind of gains but is it real to expect what I've heard?

I have a 2004 vert A4 with a Halltech Stinger and GHL Bullets but otherwise stock. What can I expect out of a dyno tune?

You should expect around 5-8 hp with a tune. You don't have the mods to justify a tune.

A full tune is $500-700.
