Default Street Tune vs Dyno Tune

Who here prefers street tuning over dyno tuning? Using my car for off road use, i really need an off road tune vs the dyno tune. I just dont feel the dyno tune is as effecient b/c there is simulated variables as opposed to real world variables you experience in the street tune...

Any down sides to street tuning that dyno tune can be better at? thanks!~

I like both......Dyno tune first then a road tune to make sure everything is good during real life conditions

thanks everyone! Very good input. If i could afford it right now, i'd try for both... but $500 for a dyno tune yikes even $350 at a deal is too much for me.

thats life. i learned with this car, you gotta pay to play. and $350 is well worth it when the longevity of your motor is on the line.

Didnt you pay a lot of money and ended up with a crap tune? I say local tuner regardless of street or dyno is better no matter what, so if something comes up 2 weeks after the tune you dont have to wait till whoever is back in town
