Sure but consider this ;; Do you think your "local tuners" didn't blow some shit up learning wtf they were doing? Most tuning software comes with "HOLYSHIT" sensors when you change something significantly. I've seen the software for a Civic Si and its pretty idiot proof.
And how much do you pay one of your tuner buddies to change a few things here and there? I can't speak for where you live but for my area its about 400$ for 3 dyno runs and 2 tunes. (initial pull, tune 1 and final tune) The money spent on your tuners could be spent on... "oops" repairs from the mistakes made self-tuning lol.
Just saying, thats what I would do.

You think you can just learn to tune a standalone "just like that"....I think not. Tuning is not a "oh I'll just turn this knob here, and I'll flip this switch there" and Bam, you have a track worthy feat of terror.
Sorry dude, it's not that easy. They don't have tuning classes for no reason.
A mistake made from self-tuning is a blown motor. You make it sound like getting professionally tuned is a waste of time. Sorry, there is no rational behind such. I've self tuned my car before (street tune). But there is absolutely nothing wrong with taking it to someone I trust.
That someone that I trust to tune my tC is PTuning. The two time Modified FWD Time Attack champs with their 550whp+ Scion tC.

I just hope they don't litter the FT-86 with all the electronic "nannies". That will turn me off somewhat, but there are bound to be disable switches somewhere.
