Only experience and a good understanding of how fuel and spark effect engine performance will do that.
The old school green screen DOS like interface the UTEC currently uses may not be familiar to most people today (which may have saved a few motors), but by now all of the tuners should be very good with it, and once tuned it's not something that changes often. Personally I'd MUCH rather see TurboXS spend their limited development dollars adding functionality instead of flash.
A GUI interface will not make our cars run any faster or any smoother, nor will it allow tuners to work any faster or do a better job tuning our cars, so why bother?

i also noticed in 2.8 you dont have a place to scale your injectors anymore. In the old version you could enter the constant of what size your stock injectors were compared to what size you have upgraded and installed. Now it just says something like feature to be used later...

I'm not a complete idiot when it comes to understanding the system but asking or relying on my tuner to teach me how to tune it on my own is like pulling gold teeth outa Flava Flave's grill.
Seems like you have a great setup too.
I for one am looking forward to the new GUI. I enjoy looking at things that are pleasing to the eye
