You simply dial it up and down. 
I'm sure some are harder than others, but some are quite easy.
I'd  contact megasquirt or some of the other vendors and ask what the tunnig software is like.
Some of the places have snapshots of the software up to look at and get ideas of what it is like too.
Howell burns the chip based on your information.
If you have issues you send the ship back and they reconfigure.
I do not know if they have a "crossover" program to allow you to drive on one chip while they send you another.
