Ultimately we all modify our cars largely for the thrill of racing them. So it doesn't really matter much to me what your slope or dragy slip says. Hopefully this platform develops to the point that we eventually get decent turn outs at side by side races, like many of the other platforms we work with, as that is ultimately where grudges are settled.
I more or less sum up the various tuning options here:
Piggyback vs ECU tunes--Pros and Cons
And you're wrong about "numbers don't lie", because those numbers are dependent on facts provided by people, who often do lie. It's easy to add extra modifications and not mention them when promoting times, run more aggressive tuning than the log you're sharing shows (or even not post a log at all like Tork), game the slopes, run more octane or E85 than you are letting on, go out and race your car in 30F weather or negative DA and not disclose it, etc... Back in the day one shady tuner who held the "pump gas" tuning record on a specific platform was caught using fuel bladders to hide race gas. Another was caught taking out seats at the track and not disclosing it. At the end of the day numbers are largely based on the credibility of those providing them.
