Post question about cams and tuning

I am having my cams installed on Tuesday, and I have a question about tuning.

Option 1) Pay $350 to have it tuned once they are done (at the shop, the day it is finished, doesnt go anywhere)

Option 2) Pay $250 ( save about $100 ) and drive on an un-tuned mustang for about 3-4 days, then drive (highway) about 25 min to have it tuned at the actual dyno-tune shop.

Which would you do? (which is safest)

If those are you two options, just pay the extra $100. You're going to spend that in gas alone driving aroung waiting to get the tune if you don't. I've noticed you like using the poll function!!! LOL

is there option 3 where the shop will help you out a bit for labor? see if they can knock off $50 at least. unless option 2 shop is well known for that kind of work.

get it tuned that day. youll be fine driving it w/o a tune but i cant guarantee that you wont want to blow ur car up by the end of the day after driving it with no tune. but it definitely wont hurt it
