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?
It is extremely easy to review datalogs. There are only a couple major things to look for. It is good practice to review every once in a while....

There are tonnes of learning and compensations in these tunes so on a NA tune nothing should be able to get so far out of wack that your engine is at risk...

That being said it may not be running optimal. What may have work great on the dyno may not be running quite as good 1000's of miles later. Its just something to keep in mind, it is your car after all, dont you want the most out of it.
