a good chunk of that is installing the techtom rom board to the factory ecu, that is what enables aaron, et al. to tune it. You send them your ecu if you want to avoid the core charge, they'll modify+tune your ecu and send it back. all retunes after that is $150 (in case you perform a dramatic change to your setup) which you'll see no downtime. Since your ECU already has the techtom board, they will send you a new burnt chip in the mail and you just slid it in place of the old one.
ATS is working with mototek (sp?) on trying to provide a use tuneable romtune. iirc it is still in the working stage and they are also experimenting with using larger injectors (larger than 550s) as well. but agian, that is also in the experimentation stage.
