Is it worth it to have my car dyno'ed and tuned?

As you can see from my sig below, I don't have any mods to speak of that will add power. I went to do a dyno session back in June, paid for the full hour which cost me $99, and I had a great time. Granted we only squeezed out like 3 more HP from the timing, but it was helpful to see where I was making power through out the RPM range. Found out that my car does drop off after 4800 like I thought it did. It was well worth the $99 and I had a great timd doing it. Just my $.02 worth.
