Anyone done any engine TUNING to their max?

i'm not talking about putting on mods or bolt ons. I was wondering if anyone had taken for instance an emanage or something along those lines and seen if they can tweak out their motor to produce more hp?
might be a stupid question, but i've never heard anything about it.
This message is obviously for N/A ppl, i know we work with boosted applications already.

Probably not if you are NA. Someone on here squeezed like 7-8 hp from an SAFC tune.

On a 3.5, SR20 squeezed a bit out, not sure exactly how much but it was more than 7-8.

This is from tuning. Before my header install, I dynoed 204hp, 198tq. The 200hp, 193tq on the graph was just the baseline the same day I tuned, so I picked up a few hp that I had lost from before.

after tuning. Headers lost me 4 hp according to the dyno (204-200). The dynos were in 50 degree different weather though.

I think SR went from high 240's on the dyno to low 260's. For ~250 bucks that'd be worth it. But I need to stop modding and get that f*cking paint job done.
