Default what type of tune is better??computer or dyno tune?

i just got done putting in my engine back together with all the head and cam and all the other mods and bolt ons....my car needs tunning bad....it only starts with a scanner hooked up....i was going to send my computer to texas speed so they could tune it....but it will have to be a computer tune....they said they would try to tune it as close as possible to the mods that i have....is there really a big hp gain if i were to actually take my car and get it tuned right then and there not sending my comp....wich tune is better for the most hp possible???

I'm not trying to be a dick, but let's think this one through:

You have a tuner that offers to "try to tune it as close as possible" from a distance, or you can go to a dyno and have a tune made for your specific car where parameters can be measured and adjusted as needed over and over until they get it perfect for *your* car.

IMHO if you know a good tuner around your area that will ride with you logging your driving and then adjust and readjust for a decent $ then I'd go that way. I have mixed feelings about DYNO tuning. I'd rather have a real world tune to my car out driving on the road.
