Woah, this was taken the wrong way... I need to specify that my question was focused on whether or not getting an initial tune was standard practice since I paid for one but 4Seasons' car hadn't had a break-in tune and I wasn't sure if needed one or not? The tuning pricing is what it is and I've actually found MAP's prices for everything to be reasonable, parts and services. Not bad for one of the nicest shops in the midwest.
I just confirmed my car got a break-in tune after coincidentally talking to Nick this morning about something else. A break-in tune is done to keep the engine at a conservative level. The timing and things are set a little rich for break-in. Like he mentioned earlier in this thread, it is also tuned wide open so you can let er buck, but not recommended of course.
Also, talking with him about oil, I'm going to swap out now (600 miles) to a final oil choice like Amsoil Dominator or Z Rod. It would be better to be running a winter blend since Break-In oil is a single weight 30w. I believe that was the jist of the conversation. It's great to get a hold of them and pick their brain once in a while.
