Should I post them here for some amateur review? Should I pay another master tuner to review them?
Is this what you recommend for all tunes from all tuners or just JV's tunes? I've made some more changes since the tune and plan to get back on the dyno again for another tuning session but despite your grave concerns I'm afraid that I still don't see any great urgency.
I can't believe that the same forum that convinced me to get a "blind" tune is now telling me that tuners can't be trusted. Thanks?

No one is telling you to panic, to be sarcastic, to not use your car, that it will explode, or anything similar. All people are trying to tel you is that it IS good practice to go back and check that your car is running good from time to time. Long Term Fuel Trims cannot be checked in a single Dyno session tune, they need some miles to buildup. That is when having a cable to log is good. Also, begin able to log your Knock and IAM helps to know our car is running really good.
I don't understand why you are so skeptical and defensive when all people are doing is trying to help. If you are not interested in knowing how your car is running because you believe it is running GREAT and that is all you want/need to know then more power to you.
Visconti is like any other tuner out there. Some have had the BEST experience with their tunes and some others have had really horrible experiences with his tunes. My AVO Turbo tune after 16 revisions still knocked even while cruising (-4, -5). If I kept that tune, there is a possibility my motor would have knocked itself to death. On the other hand, I've seen logs of tunes by him with ZERO knock, running buttery smooth.
So one last time, no one is telling you to PANIC and be defensive and sarcastic, they are all just saying "TRUST BUT VERIFY". If you don't want to that's fine.

Are you sure your Rev limiter is untouched? I only ask because if you didn't specifically requested it to be left untouched, all of his tunes raise the Rev Limiter.
