Sorry, but at first glance "hp tunes" made me think of something computer media related. Like THIS (http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2006/02/hp_tunes_allows_itunes_playback_in_media_center.ht ml):D.

Are you talking about tuning with a piggy back or standalone for HP gains? If so it should yield you something as generally the OEM ECU is mapped conservative. However, it would be minimal. If you added some rugged cams, port and polished head, individual throttle bodies, etc. that REALLY change the dynamics of the motor then you would see a bit more yielding of HP.
