At a past service visit, the dealer popped my FOB into their reader and commented on my driving style.

This got me thinking what they can see in terms of HP and TQ numbers and if one adds a Flash Tune, even through you can Flash it back to OEM, will the logs they view give away the higher HP/TQ values anyway?

Can anyone confirm this?

Cheers!

Really doubt this. Although I have no concrete proof, more than likely, they're reading your CBS data.
Hypothetical:
Typical intervals are 10k for oil changes. The fob tells them you need one in 6,000 or 7,500, way under the typical mileage. Since CBS changes based off of driving behavior, they assume you drive more aggressively.

I could be completely wrong though haha.
