Dyno tuning
okay so im a little confused. i have read in some places getting dyno tuned is better than getting custom tuned with a programmer and vice-versa. what are the differences between the two and what are the pros and cons between the two? im really in a toss up right now

Either way, a device of some sort is required to "hold" a tune or tunes. If you had your truck dyno tuned the person doing the tuning would use either a chip or a hand held tuner to store your tune or tunes as would a remote tuner with email tunes.
A dyno tune is the best way to go. The vehicle is tested and tuned under close to real world conditions and the necessary adjustments to air/fuel, timing, etc are made from data gathered during the dyno session. The process can be repeated and the adjustments refined repeatedly to get the optimum tune for that specific vehicle. This is true custom tuning.
What most people here refer to here as custom tuning is remote tune done by a competent tuner using his expertise and experience along with information supplied by the vehicle owner to write tunes that are better than stock, but as there is no data acquisition to re-tune and repeatedly adjust the tuning, the tunes quality is not equal to a dyno tune.
Some remote tuners allow datalogging to be submitted after the original tunes are written and will further adjust their tuning to optimal.
Here is desperado's thread regarding dyno datalogging for remote retuning.

I hope this helps.
