Default Will a tune help me, or hurt me?

I have a 2000 ECSB 4.8, basically stock except for the k&n CAI, and a dumped 3 inch spintech muffler. Would a tune do me any good? And is it harder on my truck than a stock tune?

Tunes make the engine run more efficiently. The only way it can hurt you is if the tuner doesn't know anything about what they are doing.
Contact Wheatley or Just at Blackbear on here and either of them can hook you up with a mail order tune that will wake things up.
