True, but they also have to tune thousands of cars on a single tune and want to minimize problems. Different altitudes and available gas octane ratings across the country are examples of variables that have to be accounted for in one tune. For these reasons, the OEM tune is extremely conservative.
A competent tuner can make your car come alive and still keep the car plenty reliable. Seb at Specialty Z is definitely one of the more experienced tuners out there.
