since no one here can answer the question you asked, I will tell you of my experience. I bought a hypertech for my firebird. It was not worth the money by any means. the only feature that I liked was being able to adjust for custom tire settings. the tune was a joke. I later did a mail order tune theough pcm 4 less for $250 (less than the price of the tuner) which helped my cam/heads firebird run much much better. it wasnt a dyno tune, but the nearest dyno is 150 miles from here and they charge nearly the same price as the mail order tune.
I know a local guy with an 02 WS6, he has a Diablo Sport and says that he is impressed with it. Im planning on doing business with pcm 4 less when I actually get some worthwile mods done to my silverado.

the best for you would be a street tune. the tuner will plug into your pcm and drive around with you for a few minutes with his laptop and make adjustments. this will be the best for driveability. since your truck is near stock, a mailorder tune will be the second best choice.
check into the sponsors to the right>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
wheatley or blackbear are both good tuners. they will send you a new pcm in the mail. you just replace your stock one and ship it back to them as a core. hope this helps

I have heard good things about Black Bear tune, and I use PCM for Less. There are other mail order tuners out there too. I have talked with Bryan at pcm for less several times an have bought a few tunes from them for LT1's and LSx vehicles.
