A shop will give you a better result.

Buy an SCT chip and get a custom tune like stated above. You'll be a lot happier with the end results.

That's what I was thinking but lately I have been hearing a lot of negative results from some of the better tuning shops in town not sure if it's true or not just don't wanna risk getting my engine messed up over a simple mistake

So buying the one I posted above my best bet for a chip for my car and do you have any suggestions on a place that does guaranteed quality tunes for my car?

I would get a custom tune and don't forget to get the tuner to turn on the fans sooner with the chip, it helps, Mike Murillo will be here next month from Texas, he is one of the best, he tuned my 06 F250 back when I bought it new and I have a 100K miles on that tune with no tune issues, he also tunes the famous Street Outlaws, he will also be doing my 86 Saleen
