I don't think these are really fair comparisons. Different elevations/intake temps, etc. will fluctuate dyno numbers, along with the dynos themselves. I do think having a custom tune has inherent benefits, but arguing about which one will do better on the dyno is irrelevant.

I think building and tuning a car for a set purpose is a better way to tackle the value of a custom tune. Changing various different parameters, such as rpm levels, various fuel trims throughout the rpm range to compensate for the driving style and needs of the owner to me would be more important than dyno numbers.

If that's all people care about, then you might as well get your car tuned by JV and let him tune your car to the limit. I just hope you have a fire extinguisher
