Default Tuning for 2.5L

I have a 99 2.5l 5 speed with a CAI, high flow cat and a flowmaster super 44 to 2.5" duals. Would it be worth it to buy tuning software and custom tune my timing, F/A, etc or should I just leave if be?

Only if you have your head ported and polished, port matched, and have the intake manifold smoothed out, otherwise just leave it.

And don't forget to port and port match the throttle body --> intake

Doing mine within a week - throttle and intake

Especially if you switch to a 5.0 Throttle body.
