tuning is part of the development of an engine.
there are engines coming on the market that are well tuned, and others
that are not well tuned.

that might be true.

i don't understand why it should only be 25 in general ?!
It depends on the switches you can do.
if you have an engine that has many interesting switches the programmer
never tried, it can be very much, if you only get 3 or 4 unimportant, even the
programmer has tried but was not convinced, it can be only 25 possibly.

IMO there is no GENERAL estimation you can do.
i have the feeling that toga has much potential.
