While I agree that there are other things were he can better spend his money right now, a tune while stock is not worthless.
My car's drivetrain is completely stock except for a TRD Catback. I only have an EcuTek canned stock tune from Mike @ MotoEast. Car ran 178hp/150tq yesterday on R/T Tuning's dynojet. The shop and I were surprised as this was just a baseline I wanted before getting a real dyno tune from Mike with a full exhaust/intake installed and e85 later in the month.
For a second the shop thought I had some record for a stock 86 at their dyno until I told them I had the EcuTek tune!
Keeping in mind that we didn't datalog to refine the tune and I even had the stock filter on, I would say that is damn good for a stock tune.
Back to back runs at 65F and 11% humidity.
Do run your car for a while before getting it tuned. At least let it break in, man!
If you know you will be upgrading things over time getting a tuning device or tune won't hurt. I got it early because of a good promotion + EcuTek has other nice features.
If you go for an EcuTek tune I recommend @
moto-mike. He does remote tuning.
