I was wondering how long does the process of getting a custom tune from Shiv take. I purchased and have been in contact with Shiv but all he has asked were some basic condition/model of my FR-S. I'm just curious as to how long it took to receive a baseline tune as my FR-S pretty much been sitting for a week.

I have not done the custom tune, but my rough understanding from reading up on it is the process does take time. If you want a tune done immediately, you possibly chose the wrong product and should go to a local tuner with a dyno, but they will almost invariably tune with Ecutek or similar (and lock the tune).
Shiv/team will send you a base tune, get you to install it, then you'll need to drive and data log for a period of time, and send them the logs. They'll analyze it, send you an updated tune, and you repeat the process for several iterations (max 7?) until they/you feel that the tune is as optimal as it will realistically get. This whole thing can take days if not a couple weeks to get through from start to finish.
As for delays in even getting that process started... <shrug> Busy guy?
