Road tuning will give more realistic results, since your TMIC, air intake, etc will all be getting air exactly how it will be like when you're driving. More air, the faster you're going. However, on dynos, there are fans which just force the air into the car never changing the amount being passed through.
The reason why people like dynos, is because it's in a safer, more controlled environment. No extra outside effects, like slope of the road, traffic, etc gets in the way of the tune.

That being said, road tuning isn't for everyone. If you don't feel comfortable with the procedure, dyno tuning is the other option.
Thanks

I'm sorry man, but your statement almost made me wanna puke. Tuners don't all have the same logic and style of tuning. There are multiple reasons why one tuner is better than the other. Such as consistency, smoothness, boost control, reliability, quality, patience.... the list can go on and on about why one tuner is better than the other.

If all you've got is light mods (exhaust, headers, upgraded intercooler etc..), then EQ will be fine...but if you have a stage 4 firebreathing, alcohol injecting, mega-turbo set-up running race fuel then you should definately wait a few weeks for updates.
Oh, and take the power figures EQ gives you with a grain of salt One thing for sure though, EQ has a ton of very happy customers.
