Is there any point of this?

Hello all, I have a 92 Z28 L98 and have owned it for around the last year and a half or so.
It doesnt run all that great due to the fact Im running a factory gear w/ a T-56, but thats on the performance end of things. What I mean by not running all that great is, mostlikely I need to get my butt in gear and do some tuning but before I do Id like to replace all the sensors on the engine simply because I have no idea when the last time any of them have last been replaced. Is there any point of doing this before I begin tuning the engine?

Diagnose faulty sensors first (usually some good charts and a DVOM works for this). Replace what's needed. Then tune.
