I don't think anyone is ever 100% satisfied with their tune once they have the tuning software
hey i havent changed my tune in over 3 months now.

definitley understandable then, and either way hpt probably wouldnt be a bad idea to invest in wether i can figure it out or not. id then be able to log my own pulls instead of driving 20 min away to use one of the broskii's software

Completely serious. I drive the truck everyday to work and back. Each trip I log data and then make changes. Like Jonathan said, my turbo is pretty new and I'm still working on getting it dialed in. I've only had EFILive for 6 months or so, still a lot to learn.
