not tryin to be difficult but what exactly is so hard about tuning a car?
 
you have many variables that can be changed to allow or prevent the creation of power. setting your timing incorrect causes the spark to happen too early or too late resulting in excess heat and wear. but you still might get a full burn so the a/f seems ok. a good tune will dictate how long your motor is going to last. a good tune wont be too lean that it starts creating excess heat or too rich that it's missing out on power. the ignition advance must be set accordingly. add cam overlap into the equation if you have adjustable cam gears. fuel pressure should probably be modified some to create the right amount of flow and not put to much stress on the injectors or be so leanient that the accuracy of flow is affected.

it's something complicated that can easily be screwed up. and it's probably the most important thing you need to do to a modified motor.
