Rambling stream of consciousness follows
On mine, there is a noticeable difference and quicker acceleration that would show on timed runs going up to the 93 perf/tow.
And there is an even bigger step up going to 93 performance. So much so that after having a small (tiny) post accident body repair done at the dealer, in which I put it back to stock when dropping it off, I accidentally loaded the perf/tow tune for the drive home, in the rain, and didn't like everything I knew I was missing out on by having the perf/tow vs straight perf. In the rain, just driving home.
Sooo, what I'm saying is, you aren't asking too much, because stock to a good tune (like my 93 Performance) is night and day and it drives like an entirely different animal. But also, which tune specifically you are using makes a difference, not all tunes are supposed to have the same impact, even from the same company
Which of their tunes are you using? Are there more performance oriented ones? What octane are you running?
Because, like, if I was running the 5* 87 perf/tow that I got (never loaded) I wouldn't be surprised if I said the same things you did. But running a 93 perf is a different world.
So make sure you at least have the tune they offer that is best suited for what you are looking to get before you write them off. And make sure that tune is for, and you are running, the premium gas octane you have in your area

My LMS 93 perf tune got me a full second+ in 0-60 & qtr mile (mid 5's to mid 4's, low 14's to best 12.98), plus improved driveability & FE (+.5) when driven with restraint. Seems pretty good to me.

I'm sure there are tunes out there with bigger gains, etc.. It all comes down to where you want to compromise. My own experience has revealed the LMS tunes provide significant improvements, and are safe for daily use, thus far (~20K), on my truck.
I hope he finds something he's happy with.
