if you allready have the stage 2 tune and pulley and injector's it will help sort out the AFR using HPT. if on stock pulley,injector's and tune it's not a big gain. if still under warrenty go stage 2 and have someone work the kink's out. it will net you atleast 10 WHP and should only cost 50 to have someone tune it.

Well my car is a strange example but I went from 208 WHP with stage 2 and a 2.8 to 235 with a HP tune. But it ran low from the start and still barely made common stage 2 HP with a professional tune.

HP Tuners, on its own, will not make an improvement. Tuning the car will.

But you don't know how, or don't have access to someone who does... it'd be a waste of money.

Given your mods list, you could definitely benefit from a custom tune.
