Worth Tuning a stock truck?
Well my truck is stock performance wise for now, is it worth getting a tune now? or should I do my basic bolt ons then tune or tune now then bolt ons then tune again?

I've seen people get 1 second in the 1/4 mile just from tuning stock, find a local tuner before going mail order, do your research first.

the only tuner I know of locally is a dyno tune, but I thought I read somewhere that you shouldnt dyno tune unless you have any after market drive shaft cause the stock one wont hold up am I wrong? Also If I go mail order should I order a daily driver firm shift, very firm, etc, and how much torque managment should I remove, normal amount, 80% or all of it?
