correct me if im wrong cuz ive never got a custom tune before...a custom tune would be nice but isnt easily removable/reversible like a programmer? when i think of custom tune, its flashed in the computer or a new chip is burned and is non-adjustable settings afterward unlike programmers and arent dyno runs part of the process?
i found a superchips 2715 max microtuner new for $200 and a quadzilla stealth2 used on here for $200 also. i was thinking i could remove it and sell the programmer later if i need to upgrade so i dont think id save much money going for a custom tune over a programmer since i could sell programmer for close to what i paid for it since im only looking at $200. what does a custom tune run anyway$$?

im interested in small mods to add mpg and hp/tq. probally wont tear into the engine for a cam or heads or the like as i have a mustang project already where mpg isnt a concern.

just looking to get a couple more mpg and hp/tq for a daily driver
