Default question on tuning

My setup isnt nothing special at all, just a jdm b16, stage 1 cams, ti. adj cam gears, and basically it. i havent got it tuned yet.. do you think the pherable.net chipped ecu will do fine or is it better to get a tune? i dont really wanna pay 400-500 just for a simple setup, thanks guys. and i have like i/m, full exhaust, intake, the little things. thanks guys.

It's ALWAYS a good idea to get it tuned. The money is never a bad investment when you consider the peace of mind you get. The fact that it'll probably make more power and get better gas mileage can't hurt either.
