Re: $$Tuning$$
I'm too lazy to quote everything, but nobody ever said a N/A motor with every bolt on imaginable with a ported head, cams, hi-comp postons, different valves/springs and intakes doesn't need a tune. 
Obviously when a motor has had that much work done to it, it will need some tuning. :1
Ok, you're talking about a motor that's running with an ECU that it wasn't meant to be running that has a some lame *** pig rich egay chip in it. BIG DIFFERENCE. :1 Any dumbass with a chip burner can "tune" that car to run better.

The thing had a redline of like 9k and I'm just glad the guy didn't hurt the motor with it.
I took that car from barily even being able to get a chirp in second to roasting the tires on shifts and holding you back in your seat. The car was actually fast and IMO would give alot of d series turbo cars a good run for their money
I was very satisfied with how it turned out.
All I charged was he gave me a six puck clutch and a PP for my accord.
It's definatly worth it getting a car tuned. Is it worth spending five hours on a dyno at 100 bucks an hour no. Because unless your an idiot you can get a stock NA car close enough on the street. To the average car owner all it is it how responsive the car feels and gas milage anyway.
If he's charging 200 bucks and your car runs better then it's worth it.

Re: $$Tuning$$
So you like dialling in injector offset on a GSR basemap and having the high cam AFRs set in three pulls for $500 and a smiling lie about how the car runs "great and makes good power" for the tool owner?
I'm not morally bankrupt like that. I feel like I have to be honest with them that they wasted a pile of money, and that they are stupid and shouldn't breed. For some reason people like rip off artists like yourself who do nothing but lie better than they like me. Go figure.

The only reason Im sure the car pig rich was all the generic chips out there are set up for 240's not prelude injectors
upload stock ignition map
recalibrate for the larger injectors
add a little bit of fuel
done
