Default Should I get a tune?

How's it going everyone!

I have : cai, long tube headers, o/r x pipe, under drive pullies, jet-mas, deleted a/c. I'm debating if I should get a tune?
This was all put on after I bought the car so I'm pretty shure the computer wasnt touched. And if it was tuned would I see some gain in the car?


Thanks!
Jason

Does the car have Mil Eliminators for disabling the CEL for the o/r x? If so then that might be a good indicator you don't have anything done to the comp. A tuner would def be worth your while if you plan on upgrading in the future.

I've seen them but I haven't bought them just yet. The car was all stock when I bought it. I put all of it on so I dont think the computer had anything done to it. Wisconsin just stopped testing 1995 and older car for emish.! So I went with the o/r. The "mil eliminators" is for the no cats right? Does that just stop the computer from reading the "check engine" light?

I thought about asking about a tune because I just wouldnt like to throw money away and see nothing from it! I am on the fence about going further with the motor that I have or another 2 thoughts was a 347 or a 351 stroked to a 408? But that's not for a year or two.!

Yeah the Mil Eliminators prevent the CEL from coming on due to the deletion of cats.

Yeah you'll gain some rwhp with a tune. You can adjust the timing, fuel to get some performance out of the car.

the '94-'95s always shine after mods and a good dyno tune.
