I received virtually no interest from ANY tuner in participating, unfortunately. I think it would be a great resource.

I agree that'd be excellent knowledge, especially for the newcomers. I would like to play guinea pig on this. I'm not made of money, but I want this forum to get past the squabbling. I think concrete numbers and a review of drivability/mileage from each tune will put this argument to rest.
I already have John's tune and permission to post results. If any of the other major tuners (Tony, etc) are following along with this, please contact me via PM so we can work something out. I'd like to provide an indepth comparison of as many of the major offerings as I can here, for the sake of ending the community's in-fighting, and for concrete, factual knowledge on who does what.
For each tune I'll provide a same-conditions data log to each of the respective tuners. Each tuner gets one log/revision to dial the tune in for my modifications. We'll set the advance multiplier to 1 so there is no learn time to get full timing advance. Then I'll run each tune on the dyno with thirty minutes in between. Will also do a road test and document driving impressions, as well as cruise gas mileage.
Thoughts? If anyone has comments or suggestions, let me hear 'em.
