You're going to need to list your setup. MSII had a very steep learning curve if your unfamiliar with it. Without knowing your setup, i'll still say a dyno tune will be less expensive, easier and they'll burn you the chip you need

(imho)
A dyno tune is always the best way to go, if you're tuning it yourself or paying a tuner to do it... it's best to have it done on a dyno. It gives you the ability to simulate conditions, apply loads as desired, etc... actual conditions as required by the comp, not just "educated" guess as done by seat of the pants.

Always save the extra bucks and get some dyno time.
(again just mho)

What setup are you looking to tune? The stock EEC is very capable, so there's really no reason to reinvent the wheel and look to an aftermarket setup with a mild setup.
