Default Tuning

I want to know how much HP could be gained from tuning a stock soch coupe dx, besides exahust, aem cold air intake. I have a stock ecu p06 but i was going to get a chipped p06 with crome, then tune! im new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated, anybody with information where a good place for a tune is in the L.A. are or west covina/ covina alifornia area.

So Hp that could be gained stock ecu and stock car(besides aem cold air intake and exahust)?

and Hp that could be gained with a chipped p06 with crome tuned on the stock car?

IMO it would be a waste of money to tune THAT car . you might gain 15 hp? tops. it's really not
worth all time that goes into tuning verses the money you'll be forking out. but that's just my $.02


EDIT: the only time i think it would be worth tuning your car is if you are running boost or have some aftermarket cams in it.

An NA Non-VTEC Sohc with basic bolt-ons is not going to gain ANYTHING from a tune. Its going to cost you ~$600 after the new ECU, Software and tuning time....you might gain 5hp IF YOU'RE LUCKY.

IMO, dont waste your time.
