I personally prefer a dyno tune. A street tune *might* make you more power but I'm always concerned about the tune set up with the temperature that day and hoping it'll adjust appropriately when the weather changes.
I also prefer a dyno tune because they're usually coming from a "shop" and not some guy who might or might not stand behind his work or be available if there are issues.
Are there good street tuning guys? Yep. Are there horrible ones? Oh yeah.

You will be much happier with a proper dyno tune and using the fuel the car was designed for in the first place.

The car is designed to use whatever gas you put into it. Nothing says it needs to be 93.
edit: to clarify, I'm talking stock. Don't want to get you going on one of you little rants, Steve

I'm in the same boat as you. That's the only thing I really don't like about technology, any little thing you do you have to get it tuned

Not all tuners that'll do it on the street have/use info to get all the real time information of the car.
I'm just saying I've had bad experiences with street vs dyno tunes.

Don't you have to worry about that with any tune at all including the factory tune? I don't know much on the subject but, would assume any tune would take into account varying weather conditions. Stock, the cars come from Detroit and we have very different weather in Texas.
