Well im not big on mail order because every car is a little different. Dynotune or self tuner (Tweecer and Anderson)is the only way to go.

If theres no real mechanical problems with the car and runs fine no misfire etc etc then they will only spend one hour tuning it if thats all you pay for, might take time for them to get too it if they get a lot of business. I dont know why you would want to take a car somewhere that doesnt get a lot of business anyways though.

i hope so because anything over 2 hours is too much, might as well spend that money and buy the tool and do it myself, I have a dyno at work but its for checking emissions and ive never taken it over 60mph i dont think it was made for high speed or checking horsepower but i can see if its running rich or lean or if its misfiring, for example hc co o2 co2 and nox its a 5 gas analyser. Do you guys think it would be useful???
