Yeah Capitol Raceway or there's MIR. I think both have a test & tune night on Friday. Not sure the cost but usually like $15.

so this digital race doesn't take into account atmospheric conditions or engine load and tire size..

lets say innovative car has a rim and tire set up weighing 10lbs more per corner, with a wheel diameter 1" greater than yours and is at 6,000ft in alt on a significantly hotter day than the vortech kit... in that case i'd take the innovative kit any day of the week over vortech... or vise versa...

So what if my base tune is more around 240-250? Some tuners only come with on map and its around those numbers

Conditions, altitude and most core areas were very similar.

Let me clarify, a lot has been made of the Innovates superior driving characteristics over the Vortech. From people saying it feels and drives faster.

The point is when you put them next to each other with the same HP, they perform identically. They both reach the same speeds at the same times from a low RPM launch.

Yes I could switch the MAP on the Vortech and make 240HP and then re-run them, which I have. It's faster but that's not an apples to apples test. (Not that this is either)

Oh I thought it was base tune vs base tune. In my I always thought the innovate would accelerate at a quicker pace done low due to zero piping and no intercooler. But that isn't true now so I'm still happy I got vortech. But I will go turbo when I want 400+ wheel
