I have heard this arguement many times on this forum, but to date I only know of one occasion where someone could back their opinion with numbers. I do not have an opinion to which is better just want the facts and not "my counsins friends boyfriend who rode in a vette who new a guy that said he had a blown vette...". 
The difference was 10 HP increase with a custom tune over the Mag tune.
Can anyone else quantify the difference??

The superchip tuner that came programmed to my car numbers were
359 rwhp
370 rwtq
The tune I got from FLP in Naperville, full dyno tune
410 rwhp
405 rwtq
I was also told that a vacum was way way off for the transmisson.
So, I can first hand say, yes get a full dyno tune.

Yes, about two weeks after the maggie install I went to FLP for a full dyno tune. The first set of numbers were what superchips tune gave. Plus the trans wasn't feeling right. The install was done by a recomended Maggie installer. I put on about 800 miles with no problems except the trans - which after FLP tuned everything the problem was long gone and they "found" aprox. 50rwhp and 35 rwtq. And I could tell/feel the extra, it was like a new car

The superchips doesn't take into account other mods. If you have long tube headers etc, you need to either contact superchips for a another tune or get an LS1 edit custom tune. I had long tube headers, therefore I gained 50Hp when I switched from the "original" Superchips upload to a LS1 edit. I have the graphs to prove.

lingenfelter tuned my car by mail I didnt get a tuner with the car when I bought the kit from them.The car made 495/435 on a dynojet at lizzard racing on LI.A local tuner with a "guru"rep told me he gets about 470 from his cars so why would I let him touch it?
