Not really...your handheld tuner can get you pretty close with just those few mods. Dyno tuning really comes in when you get into the SC/turbo arenas or heavy modification to the induction system, i.e heads, cams and such. Dyno tuning is also pretty expensive...most cases about 50-100 bucks an hour depending on your area!

no telling until it happens. you might gain 20hp, you might not gain anything.
dyno tuning is good, whenever modifying anything, in near stock form, a handheld can do more then enough for you though...

Not worth it IMO. With a near stock car the flash tuners do a decent job. It may be worth getting a couple pulls (<$100) to check the AF.

For those kind of mods no its not. The factory ECM can make adjustments for those mods just fine.
Save that money for better upgrades.
