Depends on what compression you're going to.

If you are stock and the only difference is pistons, I wouldnt waste money on tuning a stock car. I would log it to make sure I'm not pinging / knocking from running lower grade gas but that is about it. Not sure why you would want to tune a stock car unless you must have that extra gas mile per gallon.
