Default 997 turbo tune recommendations

Hello fellow rennlisters! I need some advice. I have a 997.1 turbo with fabspeed exhaust, 200 cell cats, and fabspeed headers. I am getting ready to have it tuned but debating which route to go. I am leaning towards Cobb tune or Kevin from UMW. I know Cobb has different maps already preset on the accessport but UMW is more like custom to your car. Can anyone help me decide on this please based on your previous experiences? Thanks in advance.

Take a moment of your time to talk to Kevin. You will not regret it. His knowledge of the 997 platform is second to none.

I'm very happy with COBB and custom tune from Emre at ESmotor. He does wonders!

I documented some of my thoughts & dyno data about the UMW tune here:

I love my Cobb. This is my 4th plaform ive used them for...with their canned tunes you will not make the most power out there (need custom tuning for that) but it will be reliable which is more important to me.

I have heard great things about Kevin as well. I dont think there is a wrong answer.
