Default wideband tune vs dyno tune

How much of a difference is the wideband tune vs a dyno tune as far as performance ? My tuner charges me $45 for a wideband street tune and this other place charges me $375 plus $75 every hour after that. What would you guys go for ?

i got 2 dyno tunes and i am getting a third friday. The dyno tunes are a lot more accurate casue they can adjust and test the settings on the spot. I would wait to get a few more mods than do a dyno tune.
The more mods you have the more benifit you will see in a tune.

Also if you have a cai and an exhaust it should be tuned within a few hp. I only gained 6 hp from my last two tunes.

You got a point man I think it would be best to wait on the dyno tune until I get more mods.

a wideband tune is just going to ensure the engine is at a specified a/f ratio. The dyno tune makes sure the engine makes the most hp.

Make sure they hook up a wideband on the dyno. Mine was running dangerously lean on the factory tune
