when do i need to upgrade my tune?

i currently have the eurocharged stage 1 tune.

as my next mod, i'd like to do something along the lines of longtube headers, cat deletes, x pipes, resonator deletes.

not exactly all of them at the same time but i'm trying to weigh my options

at what point would i need to get an upgraded tune. and if i need one, will it be a problem to bring my tune to a stage 2. or do i need to find a stage 2 tune from somewhere depending on the parts i get?

if i'm mixing and matching parts from here and there, wouldn't it be difficult to tune the ecu to the specs of the parts?

I ask this same question to the guys at eurocharged.(Jerry) He told me it would be an hourly flat rate($100) plus dyno time($125). I'm looking at the same set up you are. I'm just on the fence on the headers.

At least with our work, our tuning will adapt to minor exhaust and intake mods. However, when you add headers, in order to get the most out of it, you will need new software.

Same for eurocharged tune. I was referring to the header mods.

If you purchase the MHP long tubes he offers the matching tune so there's no guess work or dyno tuning trying to make something match. All the lights are off and the performance speaks for itself. That would be my suggestion. Good luck!
