Pros:
Modest HP increase
Uprev tune will add valet map, anti-theft map, and performance map.
Modifies A/F ratios to manage engine performance
Can diagnose engine problems
Lets you know ACTUAL power to the wheels, instead of nominal HP (the difference is significant)
Absolutely necessary if you installed Forced Induction
Cons:
Expensive
May need to come back to tuner to return to stock before warranty work is performed on car
Not Cheap
Pricey
$$$$$
Mileage may decrease slightly if A/F ratios have to be tweaked
Basically, if you can afford it, it's worth doing. Pocket ECU flashes work alright, but for real engine management, you need a professional tune. In other news, if all you want is a pocket tuner to take advantage of a few modest bolt on mods, I have a hypertech tuner I'm willing to sell for WAY below what it would cost you new. I got a Jtran tune and have no need for the handheld tuner unit anymore. PM for details.
