The handheld tuners you can buy (Hypertech, etc) will not do what a tuned PCM will do. Now if you are talking about purchasing either HP Tuners or EFI Live, then those are full tuning suites that can be used to modify pretty much every aspect of the PCM. Those suites are what custom PCM tuners use to either tune a donor PCM or directly tune your PCM.

For a custom motor, I would try to find someone locally that can either do a dyno tune or in person tune.
