I've yet to see one that worked as advertised.

Before buying a tune, ask the Tuner what the 4 strokes of a 4 stroke engine are in the order they occur. I'll bet that he can't answer you with an immediate recital.

Most of these guys raise timing limiters, remap the throttle and just guess at everything else.

Sure.. We do live tunes here, when necessary, and I don't trust my tunes to anyone else.
