I do not disagree, but that qualifier alone shuts down more than half the tuner market…common knowledge is to ask the respective tuner what they will and/or won’t deal with 😉
I can't either. But id rather them say no then try and tune something they aren't comfortable with and something go wrong.

My tune in the past was great with Lund. They did the initial tune then set up a day with me to do remote dyno tuning and sent over 3 revisions within minutes.

This above! TUNERS will, and should be willing to tune what you have. A TUNER, should be willing to invest a bit of time to dial something in, and make the CUSTOMER happy. As long as you have enough fuel, and things are within safe limits, when paying for a tune, you should get what you pay for.
There's $800 basic setup mail order tune and then there's countless hours getting whatever your setup is working

As I said, a real tuner will tune and not cooy and paste. My experience and I have the ones I will never use again, and then ones I will always use. Before mail order, we had tuners with a dyno that would tune your car with what you had.

And that costs a lot of time and money. They want what they can reliably tune.

Also, never ever cost more than $800 including tuner and dyno time. Not dissing anyone. I, personally, expect a tuner to try and give me what I want when I am paying them for a service. If I find the shifting is off, I want them to try to update and give me what I want. That is just an example. There are plenty out there that will satisfy you and then there are a few that will not. I have learned over the years where to go and where not to.

The stock fuel pump can handle a bap surprisingly well. My pump had about 105k miles on it. Ran a vms bap since 48k miles. Only swapped it out then because I got a great price on a dw400.

Tuner and credits is over half that

You're getting regular tune like everyone else for that price. Shift points is not a custom job.
