True but to be fair many engines are not built by the tuner.
When i build my own customers engines i will run in and tune in one dyno session, BUT if it was built by the owner or by someone else i have no previous experience with i will often do a decent run in tune say 80 % of projected peak then ask the customer to drive the car for 2000-5000km to heat cycle everything (joiners, gaskets etc) to iron out any potential issues then come back and charge by the hour for the final 20%. I figure 5000km will show up any potential issues.
