Default Would Tuning be worth it?

Ok I searched around and couldnt really find anything. I have a stock S/C on my car, but Im wondering if getting a street tune with either a F/IC or Emanage would do me any good. Also if I did do the tune would I still be looking for the 11-12 AFR range like the turbo guys? Any info would be greatly apprieciated. Thanks

Stock S/C? No upgraded pulleys or anything?

tunning will always help..

Before i tunned i would look at going with a 9.5 pulley and then run some 550's and let someone tune it..

there is alot of room in that trd map!

OK thanks. Prob is I need to keep my warrenty for a couple more years, just got the charger in July so I wanna keep at least the one year warrenty lol. I kno that I need to get a wideband before I even begin to tune. I kno that there is alot of room on the trd tune, and thats y I was thinkin if there is a better tune, there would be more power.

You might wanna look into a 9.5lb pulley and CAI also, then you will be seeing some real power difference and the exhaust is a good idea, or you could get the MMW header and s-pipe you would see higher gains, from that with your stock exhaust then a stock header with a cat back. I would get the 550 cc injectors, CAI, 9.5ln pulley and MMW Header and s-pipe on the stock exhaust. should sound clean and get a lot more power.

Lol thanks for all the reply's. I understand wat you mean Gompka and I dont want to sound unappreciative or stubborn, but I think ill wait till at least July for the one year warrenty to be up before I start modding. Just wanna make sure nothing is wrong with it b4 I do anything. Thanks again. : )
