Good idea. Please let us know what you learn.

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

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...
I gotta disagree with the C6 Z06 11.5 comment...I have a bud that is a skilled road course driver that took his 550 rwhp 2008 Z06 to the drag strip and couldn't do better than 12.7 on street tires. I have videos from the track of stock Z06's running low 13's.
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.
