Just having it dynoed does not guarantee a good tune, there are a ton of shops with dynos that don't do tuning, or don't have experience with your combo.

I could tune it remotely if you are able to datalog with a wideband, x-cal2, and laptop.

I'm not sure exactly what your question is, are you asking about physically bringing the car to me for a dynotune? what format do you want the file in when I am done?

We sell the innovate motorsports LC-1 wideband on our website. You can wire it up to log through the x-cal2.

what exactly does that do and how much would it be for you to tune it on the dyno?

A wideband measures air/fuel ratio, which is critical when tuning a forced induction motor.

A dynotune including X-cal2 runs $650 at my shop.
