What's the best tuner for an '06 GT? The only mod I have at present is a K&N Aircharger. Can you quiclky go back to stock if you have to take it in to the dealer? Can a hand held tuner give as good a result as a dyno tune? I am thinking of pulleys in the future.

when dyno tuning, they actually use a SCT Xcal2 and the dyno tuner software to make the tune. the Xcal2 allows you to adjust certain parameters like fuel and spark on your own. if you get a canned tune, it will be ok. just like anything, a dyno tune is the BEST. it measures your air/fuel and will give you the best information on how to tune YOUR car. all cars are different a custom dyno tune is the best, but if you dont have the $$ now, get a canned tune. the Xcal2 also lets auto owners adhust shift firmness. mostly the "best" tuner is a personal opinion. people with the diablosport predator swear by it, and the same with SCT Xcal2 owners.

and yes you can quickly go back to stock...though my dealer says they can tell if you re-flashed it.
