EDIT: Can someone educate me a little bit? Those handheld tuning solutions, will I be able to tune my car with them kind of like someone would on a dyno? Like, will I be able to tell it what mods I have and it'll tune accordingly? Or are they limited in the things they can adjust? What are the advantage of a dyno tune, more power?

As far as handheld options for our cars *Cobb only for 09s and Hypertech* they give you canned tunes. With hypertech as far as I know they offer either a tune for completely stock or for CAIs, you cant make custom maps yourself with it. The general reviews aren't so great..very minimal gains and one forum member posted he actually LOST power so...

Go Uprev, or Ecutek if it turns out it kicks as much *** as they say it will.
