Tuning - which way to go...

Hello! After reading a lot of posts over the past few weeks about tuning my head is spinning a bit with all the options, etc.

I'm looking for guidance/help narrowing down the possibilities based on the following criteria:

1. Looking for a tune that will deliver more power/hp, torque and deliver it quicker (less hesitation)
2. Looking for a software only tune at this point - I.e. Not interested in physical car modifications, but leave the door open for down the line.
3. I want to be able to turn the tuning off/on. I don't know enough to mess with any performance parameters, but I do want full control over non-performance settings/modifications.
4. I like the idea of installing a wifi bridge so that I can use an app to access the settings, get info.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading!

bootmod3 the only way to go.
Can stick with OTS tune which is basically generic or you can go custom.

Bm3 is the best there is hands down. The ability to tune in your garage via laptop or phone app is priceless.
