i was wondering about tuning my car with a greddy blue or AEM FiC, price is not an issue but i would like to know if it really is worth the effort tring to tune it or not. as far as tuner i would go to shawn chruch in Socal so i know that he has a really good rep with tuning turbo tC's.
list of stuff i have is cold air intake, headers, s-pipe, catback exhaust, crank/water-pump/alternator pulleys, engine damper.
if you have the answer then i'd like to hear about how the car drove after the tune and if you where satisfied with it. please no flaming and i've already searched and only found a few threads of tuned tC's with the VVT-i controller.

well the camcon is the vvt-i controller but alot of threads, some people where saying that it's a waste and i'm wondering if it would be better with a greddy blue.

Its a waste for F/I pretty much. N/A is where it works best. They pulled 14whp out of a stock Celica GT with the camcon. Thats not even the GTS. So with those few mods you not gonna get alot of HP without a tune. But with the camcon being able to adjust vvti and a/f ratio you should be able to get a decent amoutn more. But thats from reading and going by articles. I have no personal experience. Call them up, ask what they think. Call a tuner askwhat he thinks. Search the net see what you find.

is it worth it to tune a car with just an axleback/intake? probably not but id just figured id ask anyway.

^^ no.. dont get a tune on a NA unless u got full boltons or any engine work like cams etc.

I agree with that if it where a tune with anythign other than the camcon. The camcon can pull power from an N/A car. So i think that is your best bet. But I plan on doign MMW headers, Megan Drift Spec, Injen CAI, pullies, weapon-R intake mani and then tune with the camcon most likely.

Oh really? I havented seen or heard of any. If you know where i can read about soem of these failures let me know. I may have to find another means then. Hopefully the Hondata like program that Dezod is waiting on will work out then that will solve this.
