    Yeah, the dyno tune is wayyyy better. A mail order is good enough, but your tuner is going into it almost blind. Sure, he has all of the stock PCM parameters and also knows how to manipulate the tables depending upon your vehicle specific mods, but the best way to do it is through a live tune or a dyno tune. You could go ahead and get the mail order tune now and then drive down at a later time to do the live tune. Anyway you look at it, a custom tune is far superior over handheld crap and the basic factory tune.

    Dyno tunes are great tools , but you don't drive on a Dyno so , Dyno tune followed by a street tune best option .
    Most Dyno tunes are WOT tuning , great for WOT power , but no mid tuning bad for street .
    Now what is a tune again?

    Yeah, sorry. I didn't fully explain it thoroughly... The live tune is best. Dyno tune second. Mail order third.
