Default 07 Z06 custom tune

so I went to my local shop and they wanted 1300 for a custom tune on my Z. they have done a few cars but not too many Z06's so I figured instead of paying a rediculous price for a so so tuner to do my car, I went ahead and contacted ED at Hitech tuning and bought HP tuners pro with a email tune package deal. So I will be road tuning and data logging then sending to him for revisions, and tuning files. my question is has anyone done this type of tuning on a their car over a dyno tune and what were the results? my mods are : e force SC, WCCH stage 2, Kaotik cam, LT's , full exhaust, BAP, 160 Tstat, NGK tr6ix plugs,msd wires. should I have payed the 1300 to be on a dyno? I figured Ed was one of the best so why not give it a try.after the head /cam install my car will barely drive without wanting to stall. everyone is always saying you need a dyno for a good tune.

Sounds like they priced it so you wouldn't bring it in...

Holy crap!

$1300...is that USD?

Nevertheless, now that you have the HP Tuner software, if you like, I can help.

Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is. its 750 for a custom tune, another 250 if its supercharged and 150 for the credits was my charge. what a joke. 1150 plus 10% tax. = 1300

If it was a standalone I could see that, but tweaking an eforce map shouldn't be more than $300-500.
