Yeah I'd go through it carefully... Change fluids, check spark plugs, cap, rotor, fuel pressure, fuel filter, etc... Make sure all the basics are in order so you know what you have.

If it's bone stock, there's really not much to do on the tune unfortunately.

If you're planning on engine modifications, then more likely you'll want to get some tuning done for optimization depending on what you do.

my car gained massive torque from a tune over stock.
