If you have the newer firmware, get the custom tune and make adjustments with the hand held to tweak. A WBO2 would be a better investment at this stage than a $450 dyno tune given your sig only shows bolt-ons.

The Predator will grow with you as you mod the car, and can get custom tunes from any CMR dealer in the country. It will let you learn some basic tuning while keeping you out of trouble.

I would stick with the predator. I dont have too much done to my car yet but the predator is great so far. The whole reason that I bought it is so that I can build a track tune and a street tune and still be able to go to factory if I ever need to take it to the dealer(as I just did yesterday for cat convert replacement), it is a great tool and far better than hypertech or similar tuners.
