One tune fits all is correct when you load a BASEMAP.
When you send in datalogs to get a revised tune, the tune outcome will be based on your modifications and your particular car... because no two cars will tune the same exact way.

Having done a lot of street tuning, I honestly believe that if you had two identical cars with identical modifications.... one dyno tuned and one tuned over the internet or on the street, the street/e-tune will be within 85-90 percent of the dyno tune power gains. Also, this is completely up to the abilities of the tuner.

Some ECUTEK tuners will also tune over the phone if you go to a dyno.

I know you love to hate ECUTEK, I am actually a fan of open source tuning.... but you drag ECUTEK through the mud like its your job
