    Well, there's certain changes that can be made to account for mechanical changes with a safe tune, meaning it won't be to max potential like we strive for here.

    Don't knock people without knowing all the details, there are people that can do this. There is also the idea that maybe, just maybe they have a huge repertoire of bin files, that have been known to work with certain combinations, and bins can be pulled from there.
    The man who says something is impossible, is usually interrupted by the man doing it.

    I would just be really interesting to order a tune from him for a given modified application and see what you get. I have been helping a guy jimsperformance in my opinion got ripped off. It was for a 383 stroker mild cam 30 #hr injectors. jim sent him a v6 memcal no cylinder select turned off the esc code and made pe come on real soon. He also did the wiring for the truck thats using a 427 for trans control only. I don't see why it wasnt set to just the 427. No response back to the guy how has spend thousands on his truck and it has been sitting for 6 month because he got messed over. The truck pings like crazy and runs crazy rich. That to me is a scammer

    I have several bins for several motor builds for several ECM/PCM. But they are starter tunes, just makes it easier. Have done 2 identical motor builds that were off by 10%. Have yet to see a perfect tune for a motor without doing it with logs, even then it gets better in person.

    I never said a mail order could be perfect, in fact I said the opposite, but what people can do, and have done for decades, is create safe tunes, that many customers are happy with, even though there is still improvement to be made.
