In my case, I have always gone for a tune that I can build a margin of safety into. For example, I can get 93 octane gas so tuning for 91 builds in a margin. Not sure if that works but it sure seems like a good idea :p |

I know drag radials make a big difference...but that really only helps at the track. Just because you have the best traction, doesn't make you fast. You can't launch like that on the street, and I don't want to drive around on drag radials on the street, so once you take them off, you're back to being slow again. At the end of the day, I want a car that is fast on street tires. A C6 Z06 can run 11.5 on the stock tires. I want a car that is that fast on street tires. Put my point is, I don't think I will look at getting a tune if it will net me 12.5. Might as well just keep saving for a blower. Who knows, I might change my mind...
Another friend could pull consistent 12.3's with his stock 2007 Z06. Too many variables to compare track numbers. Driver...weather...track prep...altitude of the track, etc. Conditions on the streets are even more unpredictable. |
