My car is getting the following installed on a 1995 GT STOCK
1. Performer Intake
2. B-Cam
3. Shorty Headers
4. H-pipe
5. Magnaflow Catback ( We'll just mufflers)
6. Pullies

It is not yet completed. We're just waiting
on the cam. I yet don't know how will idle
or run.

Will I benefit from a tune? How much do you guys think I'll make? How much is a tune? THanks

ps. Please don't rant on my choice of stuff. I got everything for a good good price.

You won't need a tune. If you do tune the car with a chip you might see a 10-15 horse gain.

You won't NEED a tune but it would probably help. I mean, for what you are doing you don't need a dyno tune or anything but a simple chip set up for your mods would help with the cam, idle, and little quirky idiosyncrasies of the 94-95 5.0's (detonation, timing pulled between shifts, etc.).

I got my chip from Apten Performance. I provided a list of my mods, and due to the extent of my mods, a dyno chart from Apex since I was running so rich. Brian over there set it up and took care of me. Reburns, if needed, are painless and no cost until he gets it how you want it.

Have fun and enjoy the mods.

Sean.

Cool!! I'll probably tune later on. Depending on how it idles I might consider it.
