On a stock or lightly modified motor it won't buy you anything you can do another way for free or significantly cheaper, but once the mods stretch beyond what the stock EFI system can handle it'll save you money that you would have paid somebody else to tune your rig.

So theres no point in using a tweeker on a stock motor? just wont be worth the trouble. At what point in the build up of a motor will it be worth it? cam, full exhaust, intake, heads, or major interal upgrades?

A cam and full exhaust will stretch the stock system to the limits. Once the heads are upgraded it's usually time for bigger injectors and that's when the tuner is needed.

Is it hard to set up?
