shop tuned or hand held tuner I have a 2000 chevrolet z28 camaro. I got longtube pacesetter headers (no cats) slp cold intake, and magnaflow exhaust. I was wondering if I should have a speed shop tune the car or should I buy a tuner? Where will I gain more hp? Thanks

I don't wanna thread jack but there is a guy close by that charges $185 for a tune, says he hooks a wideband up then take the car out and do a a couple pulls to 60. Does this sound like a good deal cuz a dyno tune will cost around 500, its only gonna be a basic boltons tune.

it could be a good deal.
ive learned though that a tune is important and id rather pay more than have a bad tune and lose a motor.
a bolton tune there is less of a chance of having a problem from my experience.

Tuning the MAF/VE tables is also necessary for a "full" tune. Ask him if he tunes those, and if he doesn't I'd seek a reputable shop to do your work. It's better to pay a little more for a job done right the first time, then paying twice to have it redone.

For your mods just beeing a few bolt ons I wouldn't pay over 200,go with frost or pcms for less,I had a buddy tune mine on his computer with hp tuners when it was just bolt ons and it did run a lot better,dyno is the best but it does cost,
When it comes down to it though a shop can do way more,for sure get the idea of the handheld tuner out of your mind they are garbage,if you live in ohio I could have my buddy do it he has skills in that area
