tuning means to change the air to fuel ratio(taking away or adding fuel) or adjusting the timing to accomodate from any sortof modification that would alter the stock timing and/or air to fuel ratio.
You can also get a stock car tuned to make it run a little leaner because leaner = more power.

An engine management systemis what makes tuning possible.

I hope that answers your question

Thanks! About how much does it cost to get a tune?

Varies between tuners and how extreme of a setup you have. Also how many runs on the dyno it takes to dial it in.

A lot of times its by the hour, which is dependant on what the tuner charges per hour.
Also, what kind of ems you're running.
Right now hte only real choices are Xede and cpes standback, and Cobb will be coming out withthe flasher in march or so, and theyll have tuning software out late this year.
