Default Do I need a dyno tune yet?

I'm probably gona get a BLOX Intake Mani. for my GS-R. currently have AEm CAI, HKS Cat-Back, Invidia Test Pipe, Spoon 9lb Flywheel, Exedy Clutch then intake manifold. would i need a dyno tune after i get the IM? i've heard several cases where they only gained power when they dyno tuned it.

plus how much does a dyno tune usually cost?

Are you running the stock exhaust manifold?

I would shoot for some cams and cam gears then go tune.

Nope...not yet. There's no way to even tune your car really.

yea really...you don't even have a VAFC to tune with. not to mention no fuel upgrades.

yeah run some new cams and make some fuel system upgrades before its even worth tuning ur car
i swapped out my cam gears and got a VAFC II
got it dyno tuned with just basic advance/retard and only gained a whopping 3 hp and 1.5 tq
it was worth it because it improved a flat spot in my tq curve below 4k rpms
dyno tuning is bout 150 /hr

you can get some baseline runs to see where you're at. but no tuning really.
