So, do you only tune for conditions that occur under 65mph?
Not trying to be a wet blanket or an old man (just turned 25...), but it seems that a tune done on the street (and more importantly, within the limits of the law on said street) wouldn't exactly be a complete "tune".
As a customer, I would be HIGHLY concerned about handing over the keys to my car to someone who is either going to:
-drive it on the street, presumably well beyond posted speed limits, in order to tune
OR
-claim they can offer a complete tune and obey all traffic laws.
I'm sorry if I'm making assumptions that are untrue, but I just don't see how a car could be completely(or even close) dialed in on the street within the limits of the law. Couple that with all the potential liability issues, and this seems like a Genuinely Bad Idea (tm). Feel free to correct any of my improper assumptions.

Street tunes are prefered if you ask me. When you normally drive your car its on the street, not a room with rollers. Why not tune for the actual conditions it is used in? And Kunal correct me if I am wrong but the customer is the one to drive the car during the tune.

). I understand the benefits of tuning a car in real world, on-road conditions. What I don't understand, is how you can fully tune a car and obey the speed limit, regardless of who is driving, or do you meet all of your customers at GLD T&T?My car was tuned in 4th gear all the way to redline (and a little bit beyond). Since an Evo would be going roughly 115mph at 7500rpm in 4th, I can only conclude that this is impossible to accomplish on the street without getting arrested, jailed, or worse.

I think you missed the point I was trying to make(as well as the joke about my age ). I understand the benefits of tuning a car in real world, on-road conditions.

For anyone that would like us to tune their car on a DYNO, we do offer that for a small fee we rent out a local dyno.
