All octane tunes?

Not everyone cares about a race. In fact I’d bet the majority of people with tunes from any tuner prefer some every day drivability to go along with their extra power over straight WOT.
I don’t care who anyone uses...but WOT performance isn’t the end all answer to a tune.
My truck will be faster than any tune only truck...I may use that power once or twice a week. The rest of the time I just want it to shift nice and get me to work and back.

That goes without saying. Everyone wants drivability. Custom tunes supply that and a whole lot more. Like better towing, more mpgs, etc. My point is all octane tunes are a just a notch above stock. Why bother?
I don't believe you put a whipple on your truck for drivability and point a to b. You already had that. Come on, man.

As for your offer, we already know what the result with be considering you've got a tuned 2.7 SCab and I've got a stock 5.0 SCrew but hey, you would probably only end up a few (or several) bus lengths ahead of me. Racing simply is not my thing, never has been, never will be.

Aside from the bad grammar.
ALL OCTANE tuning is a bad idea in general - as you're not optimizing squat.
Now take ALL and say 87 Octane tune and I'd say you have an ALL octane tune. In that 87 octane specific optimizations will happily tolerate 89,90, . . . . 94 octane all day. It won't take advantage of some of that - sure. but it tolerates it just fine.
The engines that can do flex fuel and have the additional sensors - that's a different breed to but again - if you are tuning to get it optimized for how the veichle is used, you're going to take into account using ___ octane fuel non E85 in your tuning. Or turning off all flex fuel allowances.
That said - I wouldn't trust a tooner that said they programed my car to run all octanes all the time and make power, or torque. Sorry it just doesn't work that way in the physics.

I'm confused. Is this saying a tune that can run any fuel (essentially a basemap) is from "tooners" or is it saying a tune that is so specific it can only run on 93 and or whatever and nothing else is what they're referring to?
Because neither of these situations speak to someone's skill, i'm confused.
