Also you wont have to pay for two tunes with the OFT. Assuming you've looked through the OFT at all, you should have seen that it came with multiple OTS tunes. All of the OFT tunes are free. You can download them off the website.
Yes, i understand that (which you should know since I've mentioned I'm running the e85 OTS map now). The main concern is a rational one, since of course Shiv will focus more effort on the UEL map (due to selling an UEL header) than the EL map (which is the header I'm more interested in). This is backed up by multiple claims by him that the UEL map gives more power than the EL one, especially since multiple other vendors dyno graphs show the opposite evidence.

Therefore, I'm more interested in another vendor for tuning who has more experience tuning the EL headers I'm interested in.
