That's somewhat true - but it sure is nice to have someone doing that for you instead of having to finance it for yourself.
The good tuners have pretty tight tolerances for what they will ship. Even if you're getting services that you may be able to do yourself, you're still getting the benefits of that "weeding out" process.
You can buy 20 stock motors, build them, tune them, dyno them, etc. and then ditch the ones that don't perform. Or, you can pay a few extra bucks to have someone that knows what they're doing take care of all that for you and stand behind the performance. It's not magic - just hard work, consistent procedures, and honest measurement.

thanks for all the opinions
who has the most wins to back up there motors?
i have decided to keep my motor, just track time for me and thats what i did today! with the GRATE help of billy (owner) my car is sooo close to dialed for me.. i think lol i was doing prety good

Well.....magnets are a touchy subject....
First, we zap them all as they come from the case.....mainly because A. its possible they are not charged at all B. they are charged backwards C. they can lose charge as they sit.
Anyone who wants to dispute, is simply nuts and/or has never opened a case of motors.
Now, once the motor is built............zapping, well is kinda a crap shoot. Obviously a motor that has been massively overheated usually can use a zap or a motor near the end of its days that seems to have fallen off some. However, there is this fine line of when you DON'T want to zap. Motors have a sweetspot in magnet strength compared to the makeup of the arm. Usually the fastest motors have this......so if you zap, then the magnets begin to overpower the arm and it doesn't spin up like it used to.
A great example of this was in the 2004 Paved Nats in Portland. We had the dreaded Reedy MVP as the handout. These things had the FB9 magnets in them(same as the mods), which massively overpowered the arm and the thing generated no RPM worth a crap....and the torque simply did not make up the difference in lost HP....so, little did anyone know.....a few motors were taken up to my room.....and I used a butane torch on them to kill the magnets some.....and we finally were able to get close to that sweet spot....(EddieO brood Edition Butane Torches will be on the site shortly)....
