Default changes that could ruin your tune?

What are some of the ways to accidentally ruin your tune?

I'm mainly thinking electrical mods here... friend told me (could be B.S.) that going to projector headlights could ruin my tune.

If it is B.S. (or not) what (if any) other electrical mods could screw up the tune?

Changing to projector headlights won't effect a tune.... however, changing out muffler bearings will!

Well I knew I smelled BS but wanted to be 100% sure I knew I'd get flamed but didn't want to take a chance.
