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.

Yup, we tune for more power everywhere. We are not a "peak hp" number tuner, that's not our goal when we are tuning a customers car.
See our post here and notice how power was increased everywhere in the rev range:

I would be HAPPY to pay several hundred dollars to have Circuit Motorsports in Orlando to optimize my tune and I don't really see the benefit of sharing it. If it's individualized to each car, I don't even think others would truly benefit from it. And OBVIOUSLY, I wouldn't do it.
If you have the time, you should really consider making a list for Shiv.
I'm not going to participate in the argument that's taking place here. I think your claims of 6 vs 15 hp is an exaggeration, but I KNOW that there's merit to having a tune fine-tuned to your vehicle.
Instead of arguing over which is "better", we should be working together to ensure that everyone has access to quality tunes without being pidgeonholed into one alternative, such as ecutek. (Again, ecutek is great, I'm not talking shit, I just think options are good).

Thanks, we appreciate the fact that you would want to come to us for the tune!
As I said before, we are not married to one tuning solution, we just use what suits our needs and what we feel will provides the best overall tune and experience for our customers.
Right now, OFT is not one of them.
That may or may not change in the future though, we are always keeping an eye out for new tuning solutions, what works best etc.
As far as the numbers differences, we are just going of of the gains on the stage 1 map for the OFT and our custom stage 1 tune, see here:

False. We have nothing against the Opensource community, zero at all. Just because we don't choose to tune the 86 platform with opensource right now doesn't mean we don't think it's a good idea for some folks.
Having options is great for the community, there is no
single right choice for everyone.
