Now, before you say "I'm not saying the dyno sucks" again, I'd like to know what advantage road tuning gives over a dyno. don 't say "real world conditions" because that's hogwash.
Every single knock sensor input on the real road is real data. Every O2 reading on the road is real data. I can collect hours and hours of them for basically free! I can do them on my home track, with the rolling resistance of my tires at my pressures, on that surface at that temperature at that instant.... A Dyno can't do that!

They are different!

And did you even read my post about time, economics etc.

Aparently it will kill you to admit that any tuning other than dyno tuning has value. I'm sorry you feel that way, but respect your choice to do so.
