It is possible to do, however it should be a LAST resort only.
I have done it for several customers with good results.

You simply need the customer/dyno operator to be knowledgeable with basic tuning principals in order to even consider attempting a remote tune.
You would email files back and forth or simply connect to the customer's laptop live via a remote pc software etc.

I need to feel and hear the car...

There are plenty of times when I know I have caught things before something bad has happened just by listening and being able to watch multiple sensors.

Maybe on a stock car that makes piddly for power...

You don't need to email files, when I remote tune I use Skype to communicate, and access their laptop with the Window's Remote Desktop app. I can record a verbal Indemnification through Skype, I take half payment before the tune via PayPal and half after. I agree with Chris that it's better to be there, but the customer is always right
