no such thing as burning a chip so you dont have to tune. the availability of uberdata and rom burning is there so you CAN tune your car.

Uberdata is Do it Yourself Tuning (buy a Wideband and street tune) or you pay someone else to tune it for you.

exactly...every setup is just a hair different...if you want optimal performance, efficiency and peace of mind, tune it.

If you just want to be close, worry that your ---- might (or might not) blow up, and not be concerned with performance or reliability...find someone that has a similar setup and get their BIN on a chip. Do you feel like gambling?

If you use Uberdata you will need someone that tunes uberdata (with their wideband), regardless if its street tuned or dyno tuned.

Dyno time is more expensive than a wideband. Plus when you are done on the dyno, you have to pay again for anything else. With the wideband, you have it for yourself to use whenever you want.
