Are any of you self-tuners ever done tuning? Or is this a constant thing you guys keep doing?

I'm not asking about after you install a new mod, but has anyone reached a point where they have their tune perfect and never have to adjust anything?

I don't know if I'll ever be "done" tuning. It's tuned now where I could leave it and drive it for a long time with out problem, but I have to much fun messing with, seeing what this does, and what that does, can I do this and make more power, or this and get better mileage. Its like having a mod you can change all the time when your board or want your truck to act different. The possibilities are endless....

I just ordered mine last week. I am in the same boat.

I like the idea of being able to change things out whenever I want, but I would like to have a turn key truck that always starts and never has any problems.
