Do we have maps and referecnes we use from previous tuning? Yes of course we do. But every single cars get's it own custom map, every parameter we change is logged and looked at to make sure it's right. We are not just throwing a stage 2 tune on a car, looking at one number and calling it a day.

Any car can benefit from a custom tune. You can use an OTS map and gain 6hp or get a custom tune and gain 17.

The route you take is your choice and it depends on your needs and your budget. Just make sure your educated on what you're buying.
Peak HP #'s aren't very important to me. It ignores every other point of the power band and is trivially easy to cheat with smoothing anyway. I don't doubt that your tunes make more power, though.

I'd love to watch you tune a car but, alas, I'm over 4 hours from ANY tuner so it's not going to happen (Well, make that 2 now with ft86ss). You'd think 8 years after I started writing tuning software I'd have seen a pro do it by now.
