tuning a stock ss/sc

ok i have a 06 cobalt SS/SC and i was wondering if it is worth it to tune the car on close to stock setup. i have an intake header and downpipe w/high flow cat. would i see any noticible gains i dont have enough $$$ for any other mods right now.
i would like to get a 7k redline if thats safe to do on the stock injectors

come on guys i was hopeing to get an answer b4 i left for work

Yes it worths the money. Get HPTuner and get it tuned by a pro.

I'm from Long Island and i actually just picked up my 06 SS/SC this saturday....but if your near or on Long Island...theres a guy who does tuning for Speedworld that works next door and he is golden. Hes tuned his evo to like almost 800 wheel and a sentra to like 600...this is what they told me in the shop...my firend got his rsx type S tuned by him after he got his supercharger on and hes pulling close to 275 with just the supercharged, intake, and catback...

speedwork is no good for cobalts.

There is only 2 people that tune cobalts the right way out here, and that's me and KEnny from C/A.
Ask around, I'm sure I have enough positive feedback from tunes (go by BCP Performance in LI)

yeah tune would be worth it. AIM is down on my comp for a while now, just won't work without freezing up.
I remember trix (mike) mentioning your name for some reason or another. you don't need anything, cept a wide band to make it a bit more accurate, but I have a setup that will work fine for you.
