well a stock car does not need tuning
From Wikipedia:
Engine tuning
Engine tuning involves modifications designed to increase the power of the engine. These modifications can range from a simple chip tuning, to adding nitrous injection, to a complete engine swap.
"Tuning an engine" has many different meanings today. Traditionally, to actually tune an engine meant adjusting the timing and the air/fuel ratios. Today, many people consider tuning to be adding cold air intakes, exhaust systems, turbochargers, or any other part that could conceivably make the car faster. It is important to note that the two different meanings behind the word tuning refer to two completely different methods of making a car faster.
Adjusting engine timing and air/fuel ratios generally improves power and reliability of an engine without any futher modifications. On the other hand, tuning an engine becomes incredibly beneficial after already heavily modifying the engine with upgrades, like forced induction (including nitrous) or adjusting the internal parts to increase engine compression.

Klyph is a funny dick, however you don't need tuning on a stock itr unless you are turbo or have done serious engine work(oversized pistons, rods, higher compression, ect.) Basically just buy a chipped ecu and you will run fine.
