Default Professional tune!?!

Last night I took my buddy's z out for a quick log and this is what I got. Both our cars were tuned at a "professional" shop, one that is actually quite reputable. Tell me what you guys think of these values. There was also some knock in random spots in the table. The car has had no modifications since the tune.

He did get some 6-8 degrees of knock though if I remember correctly. I would think even on the street that is a bit much coming out of a pro tune... I'll post the histogram when I get off work.

keep in mind that 90% of the tunes performed at speed shops is WOT only... Fueling and spark... and maybe a few tweaks for idle ... very very few shops do any part throttle tuning

like horist just said..... they just let the fuel trims do all the work in part throttle... then usually dont even touch it.

all "pros" do is set the idle so it runs, then flog it at WOT to get the AFR right....add in some spark (also a WOT deal) and everything else is left alone.
