Ok, I understand the purpose of ECU piggyback systems. However, I'm curious to see how people (tuners) know what to enter into the Unichip.
In other words, how do they now what the settings should be with all of my current mods?
Does this make sense?
I have 1) Crawford Cats 2) Borla Exhaust 3) JWT Pop Charger 4) Z-Tube 5) Motordyne 1/2" IsoThermal Spacer
Should a tuner know how to adjust for all of these or are they just taking a stab in the dark?

All cars are different so your car might make power with less fuel.
