Of course no specific tune will reign supreme if you have bottomless pockets to pay for hours of dyno time.

But if you look at this logically and keep cost in mind, it makes more sense to buy an already proven "off the shelf" tune. They likely have hundreds of hours (or more) of dyno time with the header baked into their off the shelf tune. It just doesn't make sense to chance paying another tuner that likely doesn't even have half the hours of dyno time with the header quite a bit more for hourly dyno time in addition to the cost of the base tune and possibly end up with lower performance.
