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

Ok...I didn't say that we will get the maximum amount of power needed to shred tires and we throw caution to the wind.
I actually said:
It takes a lot of time to make sure the car is running right, making power, driving smoothly, and within safe ranges.
We tune cars for safe power, drivability, smoothness, oem like idle
, torque sooner in the rev band, etc. etc. the list goes on. We also do custom build maps as you mention, we can raise rev limits for auto-x guys or adjust maps for specific boost control.
The best feedback in the world is when a customer tells you that the custom tune they had from a previous tuner is absolutely blown away by our new tune. Yes, that has happened. No I will not mention names.Again, if anyone doubts our ability or knowledge we will be glad to prove it to you. We aren't a "master tuner" by mistake.
Now, I am going to head out of the office and go get some dinner and hang out with some local Subaru yokels.
