Default Going for Tune today!

I have installed Dynotech Headers, High flow cats, GHL's and a Honker CAI.
Today I am going for a Tune, will I notice any SOTP from the Tune? Taking her to Vengeance Racing in Cumming GA.
Is there any small items that I could install for a few hundered that would be worth a gain?
I think I will just save up for the cam and under drive pully next. From what I have read it would't be worth it for me to get a ported tb and ported FAST intake until the cam.

Let us know how the experience turns out because I am considering taking my car to them also. I have heard good things about them.

OK,
Vengeance Racing is a great place! They ported my TB and put it on the dyno and I made 371 hp/374 tq. After the tune I was at 390/385. I am very pleased with this for only having Bolton's. The SOTP meter says there is definitely a gain.

If I added a ported FAST intake they said I should see 410 rwhp, but I am going to wait and do a cam, udpully and port my stock intake next.
With those mods I should see at least 450 rwhp. I have to wait for a while, the wife may kick me out of the house.

Great experience and highly recommended.

390rwhp is great for Bolt ons. I only made 370hp with close to the same mods.

It depends on the tuner and their experience. Some may pull 8 to 10 pulls on the dyno to get you the optimum hp/tq. But at the very least, a good tuner should be able to lay down 15 hp to the wheels..

Most with the same mods are 370-375. You got a super tune.
