Yes it's always worth it. I like diablo better, but 10-20hp is common with a tune. The more mods you have the better the tuner will help them all work together and maximize your increase

With a (custom) tune alone, you'd be looking at an increase about 10-15 RWHP with 93 octane. Your driveability will also improve, and your ignition calibration will be more efficient. If you're mechanically inclined, you can adjust a lot of settings yourself with a tuner. However, if you haven't adjusted any of your engine settings before, it's a good idea to look into a custom tune.

What Emily forgot to throw in there is that American Muscle sells them.

I have a flip chip. works great when I am on the highway and some ass wants to rev up his civic at me. I go from "Pulverize" to "Wish You Were Never Born" at the flip of a switch.
