Thinking of tuning a ls... input needed
so im probably trading my built boosted b16 for a stock ls. It has boltons and the head, throttle body, and IM are ported. It has a stock ecu now and i was interested in probably getting a tune to see if i can pull some more power out of it...
Is it worth the cash?

if you can get it tuned cheaply then it can't hurt. otherwise i probably wouldn't bother unless you were running bigger cams.

It will be worth every penny, even with stock everything. Im sure they could squeeze a nice 10-15hp out of it. Plus you have larger pistons and upgraded injectors, that definitely calls for a tune.
DO IT! and post results. I always wanted to get my stock Y8 tuned back when I had I/H/E.

im gonna try and throw it on the dyno before tune and again afterwards to see the difference between the basemap power versus the tune.
i have gsr cams... will they fit in a non vtec head? ive never driven a honda without vtec before but having some toque will be nice

no sorry vtec cams don't work in non-vtec cylinder heads.
because you have larger injectors then yes you absolutely need a tune simply because it will run rich as crap otherwise. considering the other mods i would expect to see a decent gain anyway. i retract my previous statement above lol.
