Lots of cars I work with have other issues that need fixed before actual tuning, so I find myself for hours trouble shooting or hunting the forum for xml codes and etc.. i enjoy doing it, so i dont mind going out of my way to assist for other things also
I will spend however long it takes to make the car right.. thats another reason i like doing cars remotely, because i can tell the customer what to do to fix their own vehicle so they are learning at the same time.. same with tuning.. lots of my guys understand more then they did once im done, because i like to share what im changing if I feel they show any interest. (which most guys that seek remote tunes do)

I will add my input to this review as I was very interested in the V7 big maps and their tunability. After doing some research on the forums and especially in the dyno section I contacted TOM for a V7 map. At first I was a little skeptical due to his cheap price, which is less than half than most other remote tuners. At first my car had plenty issues with the conversion but TOM was willing to help no matter how annoying I might have been 
with the 5 thousand questions I have asked trying to get a better understanding of how the stock ecu works. His maps are incredibly smooth and showed gains from the time I did my first log. One other thing I like is the fact that he tells you exactly what he is doing to the tune and how it will affect it . He doesnt hide anything and treats my car as if it were his. Mad props to VR-Speed

I will chime in on this thread being Tom is tuning my evo too. It has been kind of a long processs being I did have some issues with my evo and having my turbo going boom. That wasn't his fault I believe it was user error I think. But anyways he and I talk just about every day and I am always asking questions what way i should go with my car. MOST of the time when he isn't busy he will respond and tell me no no no your and idiot do it the right way like this. He is a great guy I am glad I did get set up with him tuning my evo. Right now currently I am waiting on weather to clear some so I can get the car back on the road to get him some logs and further get my car tuned.

Is this on spool up?or wot? If so how much will it change around? ? That's. Nice promise you give customers not like some other tuners play the how much I'm gonna charge you this time!

Or if the customer needs afr touchup due to weather.. free.
also example like a customer tonight with a built 2.4L that is waiting for his turbo to arrive. he has the stocker on their now and i gave him a free tune just to see how much we could make on 87-91octane + vp methanol injection.
only 26psi and didnt even get to lean it out yet or throw more timing at it at 5K
chart below:
