If a large well known company, wanted to use your 2005/2006 Mustang for 2 days, you would receive a Tune and the Handheld tuner would you do it??

I would say go for it, as long as they are willing to accept (in writing) liability for damage/failure of any parts during the testing period. You may also want to think about the max mileage you may want put on your car.. but if it is only two days this may be a non-issue

Mmm...I would have them give you a full run down on just what exacltly they plan on doing with your car for those two days (what's the game plan) Simply because all the stuff they do to your car may not show up right away. Let's say for a stupid but obvious example, they lean the car waaaayyyy out. no serious damage short term, but long term, your cats may only last 20-30K miles... good luck proving they caused it. Or here's a dumber possibility (just trying to point out you never know)

They run the car without coolant to see how heat affects the power curve. THey shut it down before it overheats...too badly, no immediate damage but you just cut your engine life by quite a bit.

Make sure the shop is reputable and if they damage the car in such a way that they void the warranty that they'll cover repairs.

I'm WAAAAAY too paranoid- if I could be there to watch, and they record all the stuff they do(strip chart on exhaust gas 100% of the time- 1 lean run= they extend the warranty for a few years).
if a lean tune burns a valve a tiny bit, you could be in trouble down the road. also how many redlined runs do you want on your engine? 2 days could be 100 1/4 mile passes- 25 miles on the clock, 100thousand wear and tear on your bottom end.
like buying a test driven car...never know what went on with someone else behind the wheel.

Just remember Ferris Beuhler's day off.

See if one of the Tuner's or one of his employees has a hot wife/girlfriend.....see if you can borrow her for 2 days to test and tune her? See what their answer is.....

The more I read the risk/reward is not great enough. I was kind of sceptical about this but wanted more input.

I would do it, but as stated before, get everything in writing. And hopefully you would be allowed to watch / supervise the activities with your car.
