This is diagnostics software and not tuning software.
Also it is not yet possible to change any settings on the PCM / ECU.
It might be possible in future releases to change some settings. But i don´t think it will be suitable for tuning.
Tuners usually need special hardware and software. They read the memory from PCM with special hardware and analyze it by bits and bytes (hex editor) to find the values they need to change. This is a very complicated process.
