Default Street Tune really better then mail order?

i'd like to head to san antonio for a Nelson street tune, but i dont think i have any time to do that. would it make that big of difference if i took it there and he tuned wihle in the truck? or maybe i could have one sent to me, then later over the summer when i play baseball in san antonio he could retune it while in the truck? what do you think?

Allen even says his street tune is his best tune he could offer.
It's not an average tune, it's "your" truck's specific tune.
I have his street tune! I can vouch for it.

any person street tuning it that knows what they are doing will be better than trying to do it through the mail unless you spend a lot of time logging and sending them in... go for the live tune from Allen. He'll get you right I'm sure.

if you are set on a nelson tune then I would do exactly that, go ahead and get his mail order tune, then when you are in SA, just get it street tuned....
