I would think (hope) that Superchips would run their guinea pig car on the rollers and do some live data mapping on the open road and the generic sale Bluefin map would be a 'best average' map that was fairly safe for clutches and other components.
They would then have several other maps and loads of data from the test runs that would allow them to adjust boost and ignition amongst other settings for customers that reported problems.
I've had remaps altered in the past on a TDI where I experienced clutch slip in the higher gears. A quick change or the torque graph to make it less spiky and hey presto, the clutch never slipped again and the car was near as dammit just as quick.
Particularly as cars get older and components wear you're bound to get variations in how cars respond to maps so a generic remapper will have several files available as it's not practical for them to examine every single vehicle they come across.
