Are you insinuating the tuner should be liable for anything at that point?

All I'm saying is I hear ya Murlo, I was the exact same way! A week after getting off the dyno I'd be right back on the laptop screwing around. With this car I changed that though. Decided to let the tuner (Shane) do his thing, and then put the laptop away and just enjoy. Which has honestly made it more enjoyable to drive for me.

I think you are misinterpreting when I say I always change my tune. As I said in the above post, I am not tuning my car and have NEVER ever touched my tune. I didn't want to touch it stock let alone now. I am competent enough now to navigate the tuning software and log shit, but zero tuning is done by me.

My tune was redone from the ground up speed density style last year by Jon Draenas, he used to work for Cobb and is a very well respected tuner, especially of Evo X's. His evo X is still on the stock block making 600whp and has been since very early on. Mitsu even gave him a pre production ralliart to start tuning/playing with. I just loved the fact that he had an X and really spent TONS of time learning it and developing ECUflash with Tephra to get it right.
