Default What does a tuner tune?

I put long tubes on my car a few months ago and took it to get it tuned. From what I could tell my tuner just tuned out the o2's and adjusted the AF ratio. I put a LS6 intake on it and ported the throttle body and need to go back. I know there's other stuff he can do to get more power what should I ask for? I only put down 305 to the wheels last time. It's an a4 but I expect a little more than that. Maybe I need to ask for SAE corrected horsepower.

To be honest, you shoudn't have to ask for anything, the tuner should do a complete job without you telling him to

Just tell him your mods & expectations & they can usually work around that.
