It's a good place to start but don't expect much out of the canned tunes that come with the tuner. They're OK but I doubt you'll be clicking your heels at the performance gains. Hire somebody local with a good reputation and have him put it on the dyno while he do that voodoo that he do. You'll be much happier with the results.

Although I dunno if I'd spend money on an actual dyno tune, you'd probably be looking at $3-500 there. But you could contact Brenspeed, Steeda, Bama or there are many reputable others out there who could email you some tunes for about $150-ish.
I would expect next to nothing from the pre-programmed "canned" tune that SCT programs the device with.

If your car is bone stock then I would be less hesitant about going with a mail order tune but if you have mods then I think I'd save up some additional acorns and hire somebody local and put it on the dyno so they are working with your exact setup and getting real time, ground truth results.
They are great for reading codes and for monitoring your systems. That's all I use mine for anymore.
