Question Custom chip or dynotune?

Which would be better,and more cost efffective? I know a dynotune is more exact as far as tuning for max performance is concerned,but would I be just as well off by getting a custom chip burned? I know I'd have to give the burner all my specs and such.

You can burn a chip and may get a few more hp.

Or do like everyone else on the east side and get a TwEECer

a tune is not a tune if you are not getting a chip or some type of program reflash. Got to have some dyno pulls to get a custom tune done.

While qkjuiced was the east side, a Tweecer R/T would be the most cost effective

Ahh,ok. I was thinking that you could have one burned for your specific mods/engine without the dyno session. I've been looking at the twEEcer as well. What's a good price on those?,I've seen them on ebay for around $500,but I know I could probably find a used one cheaper.

I looked for one a while back and ended up with the tune. Just way to much for me to learn. I did a chip and dyno to tune it. You may still need the dyno to find out what works best. Or a lot of track time. My head hurts just thinking about it..

Go with the TwEECer if you have the time to invest in it. I think you'll get the best tune that way since you can tune for driveability as well as WOT, but it takes a lot of time datalogging, making adjustments, and data logging some more.
