The engine needs to be in the car/truck to really optimize everything. However, I would never tell people they HAVE to have their engine tuned (dyno or track) for it to be a fun/well running vehicle. You can do a lot by ear, nose and seat of the pants as long as you know what un-burnt fuel smells like. If its just a cruiser or daily driver then you don't really have to mess with hard core track or dyno tuning. Good conversation here, by the way!

id be willing to tune and test it, heck im already putting this much effort into the truck, why not spend a couple days at the track or on the dyno. seems worth the extra hp to me
