Default Try my first SD tune or have it tuned?

Should I try my hand at my first SD street tune on my turbo car, or take it to a shop to be dyno tuned? The car is currently up and running pretty good @ 8lbs with a COS HPtuners tune. The tune was done by the PO and the builder of the car. I own EFIlive V2 and have done a little tuning on my old NA car.

I have installed an Eboost2 and want to have the car re-tuned at 14lbs boost. I am thinking about taking it to a dyno tuner or trying my hand at it. I do have a LC-1 hooked up and working in the car. I am located in south Mississippi pretty much on the coast. Any one on the coast able to help?

Looks like I am going to get the base tune done by a shop and take it from there.

You will have to flash the pcm back to stock with hpt to get rid of the hpt cos before you can tune it with efi. A cos in either software locks out the other software.

I found this out after I tried to read the tune via Efilive. I have picked up a new stock ECU to tune with Efilive.
