Edit now that I'm not trying to type on my phone- I'm not a huge fan of tuning WOT/ full bore pulls on the street. That's more for on/off throttle, part throttle, etc. I'd prefer to have the high speed stuff done on a dyno. Plus, I want all the printouts- power, boost/afr, etc. The butt dyno is often a liar. If I'm going to drop the coin to switch software, I'd like to be able to look at it and say "this is X more power at Y rpm".

Well, you could always do the street tuning yourself with the rented cable to save Joe some time. Get a base tune from him, log some data, then bring the car and data to him. He won't have to spend as much time driving it on the street before additional dyno tuning. Obviously, you'll have to pony up for the dyno and his time, which I can understand why you'd be hesitant with the limited results out there and having already paid for a different tuning software. But doing some datalogging yourself would probably save a little bit of money.
