Tuning Gains?

How much more of a gain do you get from tuning than from just the parts themselves? For example if i have a ix with a tbe and an intake and i make 270whp(hypothetically) how much can i expect to gain from getting a full dyno tune? I was goin to put this in the tuning section but it seems too vague tia for all responses HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I don't think he would see those numbers without the boost being turned up. I'd say with a tbe and a intake you'd see around 300whp IMO. Could be wrong though. If people are seeing 330 with just a tbe, intake, and a tune with the 9's I need to get modding.

sorry buts that got to be a crazy high reading dyno.

Agreed^^ I prefer mustang dynos. I did a car on a mustang dyno about 3 weeks ago. Had a BR tbe, and a br intake. Before the baseline pull the restrictor pill by the bcs was removed. So the baseline was done with tbe, intake, and 22psi on a mustang it made 251whp/ 250ish tq(cant remember exactly). Then i tuned it, it ended the day with 300/300. Done really care about what the conversion would be compared to the DJ,DD, etc.. His car gained roughly 50whp/50tq from the tune no boost adjustments between the baseline and final pull

Sorry fellas, I be off the topic, but I have this itching question: In regards to gas consumption;
For "Gain", If you were to upgrade the exhaust, and air filter, and do a tune, would you necessarily keep the same MPG?
