Default dyno tuning question

i currently have a 99 gsr with i/h/e..i have ctr cams that will soon be installed along with aem cam gears..i read everywhere that i should get my car dyno tuned to get max performance..the thing is can i just bring my car to a shop to get it dyno tuned with that setup or do i need some sort of vtec controller like an apexi vafc to use to tune?..im new to tuning so it might be an obvious question..anu recommended places around the bay? besides dsr? thanks

the vafc would be really helpful to help fine tune the engine

You can only tune as much as you have things that are adjustable. So if the only thing you have that is adjustable is the cam gears, the only thing that can be tuned is the cam timing. If you want to play with fuel maps or VTEC points you will need some kind of device to do that, and that is where the bulk of power gains are made on a dyno.
