Default Have I made a mistake

First off Merry Christmas everyone! So heres the low down, I picked up a SCT 4 Bank chip from a local guy and of course needed a new tune burnt onto it for my specific Mustang. I checked out local Dyno shops and they told me I honestly don't have enough serious power adders to be throwing my car on the dyno they said a canned tune would work just fine. Well I contacted Brenspeed for one of their crazy tunes and they said they cant burn the chip they can only do one for Xcal2 or Xcal 3. I couldn't get a hold of Bamachips so I resorted to American Muscle. It was 50 bucks for 3 canned tunes. Ryan Mcdonald asked me about every upgrade I have and I went with a 91 Octane performance tune and a 91 Octane economy tune. Have I made a horrible mistake or are AM's tunes pretty decent?

The AM tunes they are okay and you are fine, I have the Brenspeed tunes ( 91 octane ) and they are awesome, you can always get another tune from them, Merry Christmas and enjoy the new power
