e-tuning just isn't a good idea in general. it just takes a lot more time, iteration, and a tighter feedback loop than email or a ticketing system provide. the process isn't well suited to that sort of 'remote' approach.
I agree in-person tuning is better, but I think e-tuning can be done if done well and timely. So far I've logged on Sunday, send him the logs, and he'll have quick feedback on Monday - looking over the logs to make sure everything is ok. Then I'll get a tune and more detailed notes later that week. I'm fine with that.

It is a bit trickier as someone has noted that gas quality, altitude, and other factors make each car different - potentially very different. It might just be hit and miss with tuning in general. Try a few until you find one you like. Unfortunately, that can get expensive.

Looks like this thread got moved.. I understand why, but I also didn't post it to the marketplace because not many people read those. My apologies to the admins, I should have started there, with only a link in the main forums.
