Yes the Unichip can remap timing.

Tuning with the Unichip is as about as easy and fool proof as it gets. You have 2 pots (knobs) for fuel/air and ignition timing and you adjust them while on the dyno in real time to get the best hp and emmissions figures. There are something like thirteen throttle positions and map points every 400 rpm.

If your tuner is getting paid a fixed price for tuning or remapping then you may not be getting as many points checked/tuned as if you paid on a time basis. I agree with P10DET and G-Forces that timing should be looked at. You've spent too much on the hardware to get cheap on the software now
