Yes it is time for a tune.

Just remember that eventually "just a tune" will not feel fast enough, also.

True.

A tune is the best way to start if you want immediate and noticeable power that provides probably the best bang for the buck.

Check out the stickied tune comparison thread for some info BUT do your own research as well on what fits your needs.

Also check carbon build-up. Really chokes the engine at higher revs. I cleaned a gigantic mess out of my intake ports with less than 50k on the clock, and it helped up top significantly before I did a tune.

Like other people have said, depending on your mileage you might need your Intake Valves cleaned and maybe new Spark Plugs/Coils.
