Default need help about getting my car tuned

hey guys, i just got a 2012 manual grand sport coupe last week. I LOVE IT! it has npp, and i want to do an intake and catless headers and a tune. there is an LG recommended tuner near where i live and i am probably going to contact them shortly. my question: do i need to have my own tuner already purchased for them to tune my car for me? or will they just dyno tune it and they dont need anything? thanks!

Their software should read/adjust yours no problem. I know one tuner that had a little trouble with the 2012 however.

I'm sure they have worked out the bugs by now. Your tuner should be good to go. Be sure to get someone with a god rep !

Dyno around here runs from $100-$200 and with the street tuning included, it runs $500+
