I have the Whipple intercooled SC and love it. The software Whipple has(or Ford Racing) makes great power and is safe. I was plenty rich under high boost conditions, this means there is probably some more power hiding in there but detonation should not be a problem. I fixed a cutomers Shelby GTH that put on the same blower as I have with a custome tune. The "guru" that did the tune had this thing jacked. Whipple helped us out with programming his computer with their mapping, now the MIL light is off and the customer has a car that runs smooth and pulls hard. We were so impressed with Whipple we became a dealer.

Most of the canned FI tunes are pretty well tested and safe. Kenne Bell does it, so do a lot of others. Granted, a dyno tune is best.

The tune is built for you. You'll only be able to make adjustments to timing and WOT tuning. But with FI, not something that you'd really want to mess with without a wideband and experience doing street tuning.
