with your mods being not to serious i would go with a mail in tune, but if you want a really good tune then go with a dynotune, it all depends on how much you want to pay

With mail order tunes, you just have to becareful the tune isnt so rich to where u wash the rings. I think i might be running into that problem since i did the H/C because i checked the oil the other day, and it looks real clean, but it smells alittle gassy. Im going to get it dyno tuned by Bryan Herter at PCMForLess this comming Thursday. So my vote is a dyno tune.

I was running 38lb injectors when i had my 847 cam, you can never go to big on the fuel side of things it can easily be tuned for them and when you run the bigger injectors it allows for room to grow.

I also had a tune from Madz28 he did a awsome job over the so called "Dyno tune" I recieved from a speed shop!!
