Every motor is a little different. One guys agressive tune can be death for another guys engine. That's why base and generic maps and such are conservative, so nothing bad happens (or at least there's a greatly reduced risk).

If you are going far enough to get a fully tunable solution spend the extra time and money with someone that can tune it on a loading dyno and get everything right.
