    debating a tune

    so, im finaly getting the headers installed i got for Christmas. would it be worth tuning now if down the road ill be hopefully doing a heads cam swap?
    ill be going with a frost tune as the shop is next to my house and ive heard some pretty good stuff.

    If you get the car tuned on the dyno while it is boltons, future updates to the same short block (adding heads/cam, FI, etc) come at a $100 discount from listed prices.

    From what Frost is saying, that's a no brainer right there.

    If I understand correctly, the money you spend now for a bolt on tune is discounted from a full bore tune with cam and heads at a later date.

    How could you go wrong???

    $100 of it carries over against the cost of retuning when he adds the heads/cam.

    As far as what you will feel; that's hard to quantify. I have had owners that feel 8hp and a few that tell me that 40-50hp was 'kind of' noticeable. Heck, I had a guy tell me that he could hardly tell when his 100-hit of spray was working (??!)
