I'm not a fan of the intellectual property argument. Keep in mind, when I say the following, it's as a tuner for honestly longer than I know. 15+ years. Owned one dyno or another for 13....

Tuning is like buying a puzzle and putting it together. There is no magic. But a method and logical procedure. You know what the final picture looks like because you have a dyno, data logging, acceleration feedback etc. Your job is to take the pieces available (cam angles, timing, af) and put them together till it looks like your picture or goal. Seems silly to claim intellectual property on putting a puzzle together.

Comes across as vain to me.

There is a slight difference in that the tuners beliefs and perceptions, and tools he is using can alter what he thinks the picture should look like.
