Dyno Tuning vs Remote Tuning

Hello everyone I don't know too much about tuning and I had a quick question. I recently decided to get a flex fuel kit and I was wondering is dyno tuning better than remote tuning and why?

I know with dyno tuning everything is done with your tuner in a couple hours but someone told me that it doesn't account for real world driving tweaks etc.

I'm not sure how true this is and I just wanted some insight and recommendations on whether dyno tuning is worth the extra couple hundred dollars. Thanks!

go remote tuning, you ll have a fine work tuned around days and you get to drive it and test it and tell feedback to the tuner... CSG always provides good tunes, as I see from logs from people that Zach tuned

I can also tune you ( :-) ) and i m cheaper a lot.. won t pretend though that you go with me out of nothing
Or also steve99 is a perfect pick

Reserve dyno tuning for unique or special configuration, like if you want to reach the MBT for e85, print the highest dyno pull you can get, or if you want to find the perfect cam timings for uncommon headers, or the timings for methanol injection.. things like that

I had Zach do a dyno tune, mostly because I’m sure I’d screw something up if I tried to do it remotely. He said he can do several remote tunes in the time it takes to do 1 dyno tune so I was most appreciative of his time. Car is amazing though so it was worth it to me. We did go for some street pulls to dial things in perfectly.

Where is your shop and what is the name? I'm planning to come to Italy for the winter holidays and I'd like to tune my WRX if you are available or if not can you recommend me somebody?
