YES a tune is mandatory.
What are you goals in terms of HP? and is it going to be your DD or a track car etc?

There's other things you can do to help it utilize those ponies to the fullest... things like proper torque mounts, the right suspension, tires, rims, even flywheel will help make the car more efficient at putting that juice to the ground.
