Tune now, then mods??

Would I be better off doing a tune after getting better piping or will I still benefit from it later after the tune is done?
I dont want to have to retune agian if I get parts like a downpipe ,I/C pipes and other bolt ons if Im going to have to retune it again !

so if i do a trifecta tune first then add like an intake or downpipe it would just add hp or torque to that 310hp tune? or will it be just set to that 300+ limit ,like the way it works with the factory tune?

my understanding says that w/o a tune the re-learn feature renders mods useless, i'd say tune it, mod, when you're done with mods re-tune

correct me if i'm wrong

mod at the same time, don't buy mods until you can afford them AND a tune


mods are going to do no good without a tune

and a real tune is useless on a stock car if you plan on modding...

so buy it all at the same time... I plan on getting the GM stage kit 1st, then buying my catback, downpipe, and charge piping at the same time... then if I go the 2nd ECM route, i'll get another tune on it from a legit tuner

If you do not want to retune after you get you mods buy all your boltons drive your car for a few hundred miles so the ECM can relean the fuel trims then get your car dynotuned. That is the best way. If you do go with trifecta for your tune vince can make the tune as agressive as you want, Ideally you should have the car put on a dyno to make sure you are not knocking.
