Default Should i get a tune?

Well i know some guy that street tunes really good. I wanted to know if it will be worth it with my car. I got a 91 civic std with a 99 ls swap converted to obd1. Got CAI with k&n filter, hytech replica header, 2.5" straight exhaust, advanced timing. Thats mostly it done to the motor. I just want so more power will it be worth it?

The butt dyno is not very accurate.

ya and besides that you dont need to tune a stock motor with bolt ons. you tune a car if its a built motor that needs more fuel or a boosted motor and even then you wouldnt want the butt dyno.

No need for it for what you have at the moment.
Wouldn't be worth your money.
Keep the money and put it towards a cam and maybe some headwork and then maybe you will see a decent benefit from a tune.
