Default Dyno tune?

After reading a bit on here about tunes and what not I decided to get my dyno tuned at excessive motorsports in VA. I figured I would probably get more power out of the custom tune seeming as it is specific to my car, than the brenspeed tune so figured I'd go with that instead and seeming as I've heard alot of good about that shop what do you all think? or should I just get a brenspeed tune like everyone else?

what mods do you have? if you have a lot, then a dyno tune would be great, if you have like CAI and exhaust, i would say a brenspeed or custom email tune would work just fine, then you could just run it on the dyno to check the numbers, would be cheaper that way.

Mods are important to know.. Custom dynottunes generally run upwards of $200/hr

A dyno tune is really not needed unless you have extensive/sensitive mods (like FI or cams).

What if the dyno tune is gonna run about the same as the brenspeed tune still get the brenspeed tune or get the custom tune even if it is for boltons. Well for now at least.
