Nope, thats not what I'm looking for. I'm new to Porsche ownership but in the GM/Ford world (and others) you can buy software that will allow you create your own custom tune... you have access to change tuning parameters like fuel, spark, etc. LS1 Edit, EFI Live, HP Tuners and Tuner Cat are a few that I'm familiar with. This is more ideal than a canned tune if you understand how to tune a car... and you have the flexibility to make changes to the tune each time you modify the car.

Yes, there are several dynos in the area that anyone can rent time at to do tuning. You may be surprised but you don't really need a dyno to tune. You cant beat having a buddy drive the car while you sit and the passenger seat with a laptop. The dyno is great for WOT but even that can be tuned with a fair degree of accuracy w/o it. Back in my chip burning days, before tunercat came along, I was editing binary files burning a few chips and using an accelerometer to create my data... slow process but as fun as it was challenging.
Who is the person you know of, and what was his "rig"?
What are all of these businesses using for software? All proprietary stuff?

I know of one guy with such a rig who went through probably 50 cycles intermixed with actual road and track driving to get the right tune that gave him max performance and driveability. And then every mod you do it has to be done all over again.
