Datalogging and tune revisions

So tell me if I have this straight. I have a tune from Torrie and was looking for some more performance via datalogging and submitting.  I went for a drive and emailed my first set of results to Torrie.  He sent me back a new tune within like 3 seconds and I loaded it on to my car.  Am I supposed to repeat this process several times for optimal results?  I hear of people sending Torrie like 10 datalogs and Im not sure why it would take so many to get a performance boost out of a tune but Im running a pretty basic setup. Tune and 3 bar.

Different driving environments, elevations, differences in cars, ect...

What works on one car doesn't always work on another.

I'm on revision 22. (technically 23 as we went on a brief tangent)

I want my tune fast but at the same time I'd like it to be safe and live for a while.

Better safe than sorry IMHO.

From the remote tuners perspective they don't have your car sitting on a dyno, and coupled with unknown fuel quality (which varies wildly) and operating environment it demands a conservative approach IMHO.

Cool so do I just keep sending him an update everytime he sends me one?  When do I stop?  Im not savvy enough to read the datalogs and know what I need, and he doesnt really say much so Im just learning as I go lol!

Send Torrie updates when you feel you have settled into a rhythm with a revision, and still want to see if there's more, or something needs to be addressed, or both.  There's no time factor to ir.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

That makes perfect sense.  Thanks sir

I think it's kind of fun actually.  I'm on my 5th or 6th tune over the last few months.  I datalog whenever I get the chance.

Then pester him for a little more....

So I finally put in a 3 bar map and got a tune from him for this.  After I ran it I datalogged the results for the first time and sent it in.  He sent me a revised one and I ran and datalogged that one too.  He said it was maxed out and possibly "dangerous" at lower temps (like below 60 degrees)....   Guess that ends my datalogging and revisions?  He told me to monitor fuel pressure and AFR to be sure, but Im not really sure what to do with that or what it means so I decided Ill just go back to the non datalogged 3 bar tune when it gets cooler out I suppose.

Here is my datalog of a revised 3 bar map tune from Torrie.
