Alright, I don't think I got across what I meant. I'm sure you've tuned a good deal of stage 2 cars. Full exhaust of varying makes, maybe a drop in filter. And I'm sure you don't put these cars on the dyno and start from scratch every time. You have a base map you start with. How many changes would you make to such a base map? I suspect very, very few.
I didn't mean to imply that you can start removing cats and see big power gains without tuning. What I meant was a car upgraded in a typical upgrade path just won't see the value in a custom tune.
My WRX had a ported stock turbo, external wastegate, different boost control solenoid, an oddball exhaust, modified injectors and fuel rail, etc. There's no way I could have used an OTS map on that. There's obviously a place for custom tunes. A car with a couple of bolt ons just isn't it.
