You must not track very much if you think an average owner can come remotely close to pushing a Z06 like Randy Pobst can.

Uh huh....a 30 minute session even doing at half pace will/should show heat soak. So you are basically saying a FI car won't show heat soak unless its being driven at 100% by a "pro" driver? Ok, got it.....I guess going WOT on the straights and taking it easy through the turns is ok by us "average" drivers and won't yield any heat soak.....

I am def no expert but to pick up anything more than .5 seconds due to headers/intake and tune is WILD! If anything, the increase should be smaller than lets say a camaro zl1 which is also a FI car. THose guys usually pick up about .3 seconds from those types of mods. I really just find it so bizarre at how much this car is held back.
Honestly I just find this whole "pull timing" thing so bizarre. Its as if GM put some witchcraft into this car.

Well these new DI engine from GM hold back power quite a bit. I believe the Stingrays gain over 30rwhp from headers alone. Vengance Racing gained 30+ rwhp from a quite "conservative" tune alone on their C7Z06. So there is power in these engines but you just have to get them out.
The GM ECU thing is to "protect" the engine and they said after "500 miles" it'll unlock the "full" potential of the car....uh huh.....so far no good. Tune that crap out is the way to go.
