So welcome to the Forum! I gained 33hp/33Tq over a mail order tune with a dyno tune. Not only did i get better top end performance but partial throttle response was greatly improved. I'm not knocking mail order tunes, just my experience is all.
What kind of truck and what are your mods?

I've got the Hypertech 93 octane tune...it blows away ALL the mail order tunes today!! Seriously though...the Hypertech sucks. Someday I'll get a Nelson tune.
