Contrary to what you said, the ACE header was designed and developed from the get-go with @DeliciousTuning doing the tuning and originally brought to market through @CounterSpace Garage. Those three parties worked together for a very long time testing numerous revisions on the track and and on the dyno - for me, I would never think of running the ACE header without @DeliciousTuning doing the tuning.

I see the point of view but this is the exact reason that steered me away from the header. Being tied to ecutek, a particular tuner, and its total costs are just not worth the extra bit the ace provides over other proper UEL setups and a good tune. Granted if you want the best NA performance for the car, you just gotta bite the bullet. Myself I am always about quality parts but also whats the best bang for my buck.
