if you still have the stock heads, its not worth it,the cam alone is not wild enough to warrant a chip/dyno tune . you can bump up the timing and fuel pressure yourself if your looking to eek out a few horsepower.

Without knowing your setup, I can't say if a chip is warranted. That said, Chris Johnson is one of the best tuners around. I think he's still at SCT.

Custom Dyno Tune w/ SCT chip.

Be prepared to pay for it though. $350ish for the chip and $400 for the session is about what i see for it.
