Improvement in what horsepower? No. Other factors will depend on your mods and how they tuned it on the dyno. If you have some edgy mods working with it on the street can help drivability. But, it not necessarily going to give you any more power.

My car was dyno tuned April 06, and the tuner said he didn't have everything on hand to properly tune the 06's and to have it retuned possibly in Dec 06....Jan 07. I had to drill a 1/8" hole in the throttle body plate for it to idle properly. Currently, I have no problems with drivability.

Over 90 pulls on my Mustang, with 3 hours of street time. Blower car that I left at the shop so the guy could use it for testing. Of course a daily business can't spend that kind of time on a car... but there should be some kind of comprimise. He used my car to find base tunes but ever car is different and still required a few hours each. When I got it back it ran BETTER than stock. It was amazing. On the street tune (detuned) it made 620/599

as for which is better I think you'll see more & more tuners doing street tunes in addition to work on the dyno because of the fact that you really cant simulate airflow & load on the dyno as well as you can on the street. I already know of a few in my area that are doing both.
