Quick question about headers and tuning?
I am having my long tubes installed a week from today. Should I now get the car dyno tuned after they are installed since I am pretty much done with my mods for a while. Would it just be a waist of cash?

Re: Quick question about headers and tuning? (C5JONNY)
A lot of tuners will offer 3 price tiers for where you are with mods.
The guy I use charges $150 for a mostly stock car, $250 for a car with intake & exhaust (headers) and $400 for a H/C car. this includes dyno time.
Tuning is an art & science what you can get done in a couple of hours is the basics, which is to get your A/F ratio right and to set fan temps, idle, redline, etc.
You won't be able to bump up your redline with the stock h/c but you will be able to adjust the A/F ratio, which will be affected by the LT's
Find a place with the tier pricing and get your A/F close to 12.9 @ WOT as possible.
BTW my guy does make house calls, but just for groups.
