Re: Tunning an engine

I think another thing that needs to be remembered is that factory engines and their tuning, are designed to operate effectively over a wide range of operating conditions. This means there are going to be compromises affecting performance.
After all, an engine that breaks down in cold weather, or refuses to start when hot, is going to cost a company a lot more than an engine that has 10kw less and is reliable over a broader range of conditions. Factory engines are built for joe average anyway.
In that respect, im sure professional tuners can tune an engine to run a lot better than stock, but under a much _narrower_ range of operating conditions. Hence the "real world tuning" comments.
