I've been shocked at how many car's I've seen at the meets with thousands of dollars in upgraded plumbing like big FMICs and giant down pipes and exhaust but when I ask them about their tune they say they don't have one.

Just part of the all show, no go phenomena I assume.

Sad part is there is usually more power available if they got just a tune instead of the upgraded plumbing instead.

Some untuned cars are unsafe to be driven. I don't get it either but it's their car not ours. We share this world with plenty of idiots.

in my experience, people are just cheap or don't know any better. Ppl hear "400 dollars for a tune" and think it's overpriced, and either sell the car out of frustration, or pass off some hack as a tuner that'll do it for them for 120 and a few Miller Lites. When you're typically dealing with the age demographic of 16-24 years old, you can't expect them all to be thoroughly educated in how to build a fast car.

Its not like these people with upgrades and no tune want to fuck up there engine, and not gain power, sometimes it might be for all show, but most people are just uneducated. Everyone learns one way or another.
