Trying to do more dyno work won't help with the stress. You get to try to fix mechanical problems on cars(I don't know how many timing belt jobs we have done to cars still on the dyno), while trying to keep track of your plan of attack in the tuning, while not blowing the car up and trying to reach the expectations of a customer who wants a 200% safe tune that makes more HP than someone's they saw on the internet, while trying to figure out why the car doesn't make the power it should, and do it all without costing the customer too much and before the next car comes in. A lot of people don't like to hear that they have the wrong parts on their car or that their setup is untunable or they actually need to install an aftermarket fuel pump after you just spent 2 hours getting the car running and tuning part throttle. Thank god there are Evo tunes to make things go smoothly once in a while, they usually just have boost leaks or improperly installed intakes. Doing a clutch or pulling a motor on a DSM becomes the most relaxing thing you can do.
