I spent almost 3 years working for a large r&d partner for the 3 domestic automaker's performance divisions. The owner of said company is also a WR holder in the 10.5" and top fuel circuits as well. I spent probably a year of that actually on real tracks (drag and loop) doing test and tuning...never once on a street with draggy. I've worked on the ecoboost family, s550 gt350/350r, s550 Bullitt, s550
cobra (not released), c8, c8 z06, c8 zr1, 6g zl1, demon, red eye and the hellcat family. I'm not just some keyboard engineer...I stayed at a holiday in express last night!
If we're comparison shopping, which we clearly are, the conditions should be as equal as possible. Public roads are too varied, if you don't believe me...just ask anyone who lives on the Michigan/Ohio boarder.
I think that the easiest comp is going to be a regular 93 or straight e30 tune is where we need to be. Most guys never bother with WMI, primary DPs or giant FMIC's (which are really only beneficial for repeated testing). If you don't believe me, search the forum for the will putting 5hp stickers on my car void the warranty questions
This thread could wind up being 1:2 things, a treasure trove of positive sales data for Lozic (fingers crossed).....or the same clown show as the lap3 & mishimoto threads. Either way we all should want this real-world data.
I know that I sound like a curmudgeon with my replies in this thread, but I'm genuinely interested. I've been asking Terry about DFCO and TCU control for 35k miles now. If performance is equal or a negligible +/- I'm probably in just for that . I just want to know.
