That's what I do and tell others to do as well. One change at a time and a note everytime a change is made.

and remember the KISS principal!

most of the time changes to idle rpm, ve table and spark table are all that are needed to be changed to fix most tune issues!

It is, in the Kalmaker days there was a document done by Al Gibbs called the 25 , most used parameter's. That was to generous but took into account injector changes too. There was a lot of great info getting around on that forum and the software floppy discs had some good documents too.

And that is why, even with new vehicles, many tuning shops have the customer sign a contract acknowledging that tuning can be stressful on an engine (or drivetrain) and any "side effects" of the tuning process are not the fault of the workshop.
