These manifold comparisons are getting old. You tune for the setup, not for the part. You could have two identically built cars and the tunes between them will be anything but identical. It might be apples to apples, but comparing Red Delicious to Granny Smith is silly. One is good for eating, the other makes great deserts. It all comes down to the application and ingredients.

Yes the boost spike, which tends to carry power through the rpm range better. But overall boost was typically lower on the long runner designs on all the runs.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion (which I agree with to an extent, every car is different), but if you recall I was all but forced into this round of testing

And imagine that, your product performed the best at your facility. Shocking.

And we (MAP) didn't touch a laptop throughout the entire process, can you imagine that? We did turn up the heat in the shop to approximately 150 degrees during the FID testing though
