no idea about what gains to expect but throwing in a standalone or piggyback (for wot) would yield the most if tuned properly...

add EMS to the list... EMS will probably yield you better results

There is no need to tune with just bolt ons......well the least you can do is get a VAFC. Only time you will really need a tune if you go FI.

With that many boltons I would think tuning could give a significant in power

not necessary, but you a tun would defiantly be a sweet thing since you would get the full benefits out of your parts. Pretty much it all dpeends on what you want to spend. It seems like you have spent quite a bit already, so seems like you are already willing to pay to play.

right now i have only a 70mm test pipe, and a Skunk2 exhaust and a K&N FIPK should be going in soon. after that i WILL tune, but only with a VAFC, simply to get the most out of my bolt-ons.

i think AEM EMS is overkill for your modifications. go VAFC.
