Personally I laugh at the number of people who do it...go to the track and find out how your car performs and adjust what you find. I tune my own so it is less important for me especially since I watched a few dyno sessions and was thoroughly UNDERwhelmed.
I am sure many wil say how they did it and love the results ask how much they gained from first pull to last the last pull and $$ it cost.
Good luck

it all depends on your mods. with all my old mods (heads/cam) I went in and came out with 46 more hp. if i didn't have to leave to another appointment i had i could've leaned out the a/f a little more played around with the timing and left with over 50 hp more maybe more. when i get my 383 i'll make sure I go with a clear schedule to get it dialed in really well. i save a ton of money by tuning it myself. I just pay for dyno time which is $75 an hour.

Track tuning is better as a dyno does NOT accurately simulate load.
Big gains in dyno tuning should be viewed as much as the old tune being off as anything else and as said that should not happen with a NA setup. Also be aware that the perfect dyno tune is NOT the perfect track tune.ots of guys have learned that the hard way.
Mine is a mailorder tune from CAM, no track tuning beyond a little shift point playing, no dyno tuning. Put your money into a good tuner rather than using a mediocre one and paying him again to dyno tune it.
Don't get me wrong dynos can be useful they are just overly relied upon these days, of course the odder your combination the harder it will be to dail in mailorder.
