you won't. in fact you could have e-mail exchanges with vince the day you get the tuning unit and go to the dyno. with the e-mail exchanges you could e-dyno tune your vehicle. lol only diff is trifecta wouldn't be there to see it first hand. i've heard of this kinda situation previously, just dunno if they still do this.

ya, just set it up with vince to be avail when you do the dynoing and make sure the dyno shop has a computer you can send emails back and forth with. you will dyno with the tune, data log, and send him the logs, he will tweak it and email them back and you upload and try again...continue until he is sataisfied with all your numbers and your good to go

Why, i mean for max power a dyno tune will be better, but you don't drive your car on a dyno do you,lol... In my opinion, the idea of a tune based on how you actually drive your car is gonna be MUCH better for a daily driven car. The number one benifit to a dyno is that you have actual numbers to see if the changes and modifications you made increase or decrease the power numbers. But you got your wow factor dyno built into the drivers seat, lol....
