Personally, I'd get an SCT X-Cal, have someone tune it, and be done with it.

If you take the amount of time it would take to tune it and divide it by the cost of getting someone else to tune it, I bet it comes out to like $0.50/hr. I know QWKSNKE, Sendero, Italian LX, and others have spent literally countless hours working on tunes for their cars.

there is nothing like a real tune. i think a everyday tune is better than a dyno tune.

My RWTD MAIL ORDER tune has far fewer (i.e.: zero) driveability issues than some of their tunes did.

I am all about self tuning especially if you are going to try different combinations with your car. It gets was to expensive paying somebody else everytime you make a change.
How much is the sniper tuner vs getting a SCT Pro Racer Package
