definitly in the shop. when people do a blind tune, they are doing a general upgrade. when it is dyno tuned, it is a custom burn to ensure that you get the maximum amount of power put of youe engine.

umm, he's not asking about bad experiences. He's asking which one would be better.

I would have it dynoed in the shop, no question. If the shop is accessible to you.

In shop tune allows you to test drive and see how it runs.I would check the cold/hot start,any surge or if you feel anything is not right.I would always opt for a dyno tune.

I would normally also have it tuned in shop. Like I said before I will not and would not let MTI touch my car or my wallet again. They are very good at touching your wallet without giving anything in return.
