ok since its tax refund time, what would be better for me should i order the sct chip with there mail order tune and when i get cams/heads/manifold take it to the dyno, or should i go with the sct xcal2 tuner. ive heard that the tuners are more for people with no access to a dyno. if this is true should i just get a chip since i have access to a dyno.

No get the SCT Tuner you can do so much more with it. You can change little things on it that you would have to take to the tuner if you just had the chip.

well then since y'all recommend it i cant go wrong with a tuner. so these mail order tunes are pretty safe then? what i would like to do is just use the mail tune until late this summer when i plan on doing a manifold/ cam swap, then taking it to the dyno. sound like a good idea.
