worth it to get a tune with no mods?

OptionZero

are you insane?
$800 for a tune with no mods is a terrible value, stop giving stupid advice

But spending $1500 on intake and exhaust plus $800 for a tune and getting at most 30 hp (10%) improvement is worth it?!?

You're an idiot. The throttle response is more improvement than the hp gain. Even if you have bolt-ons. And if you are stock, you will still get some performance gain - which will be just as noticeable as the hp bump by tuning with intake and exhaust, that is, negligible.

A stock car spending $800 on a tune gives a better value as far as driving experience results vs $2000+ for intakes and tune with virtually the same results in terms of real world experience.

Now if you need to stroke your ego with that extra 20-30 hp on a dyno graph, then by all means. Have fun. But don't suggest that a tune on a fully stock Z is a waste of money.

More than one person on this site has had a modless tune and were quite happy with the results. Better throttle pedal response, more HP, etc.
Expensive? Yeah. But nobody is twisting arms. If you don't like the price, don't do it.
A terrible value? To each their own. A tune is a lot easier than mods, especially if one is not after maximum performance (eg, a DD).
Stupid? Not if they got what they wanted.
YMMV

That was a pretty direct response to perfectly match a specific question, but maybe you're right. Maybe I should have vomited some irrelevant BS on here similar to what you did and not answer the question, or tell someone else how to spend their own money.
