Talking New to the Mazda - Question Tuning

Hello all,

I'm not new to mods to my engine. In the younger days I had a series 1 and 2 Escort RST which was great fun.

However I have been out the game for a while and also still learning the Mazda.

Basically I have 05 RX8 I'm looking to get the basics out the way in one go, these are

breaks
Cold air
Pulleys
Exhaust
Plugs
Strut brace

Once all of this is fitted is it recommend to have car tunned? I know my engineers that helped me work on my old cars basically had a rule that when there was more than est 10hp change in performance it was time to have the car tuned or re-setup.

I'm basically after your thoughts and if there is anything else you would recommend?
