A hand held will not get you the quality of tuning you want, Pay a tuner in your area to tune it with dedicated soft ware like ls1 edit or hp tuners on a dyno, for WOT tuning is best done that way. It is usually i the interval of $400-$600 depending on the shop, a good shop will have a free retune policy plus the cost of dynotime, costing you about 100-150 dollars for a retune using 3-4 pulls.
There are many sponsors on this site, probably in your area too, I would start here--------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
