Just out of curiousity and due to the fact that I won't be able to make it to the track in the foreseeable future, I thought I'd see what everyone thought about a race between myself and my buddy's 2010 M6. We both have ceramic coated 1 7/8" ARH and X-pipe with Borla S 2.5" mufflers. The only difference is in the intake. I went with the no tune 2nd generation Vararam with the VMax ported throttle body, and he went with the 102mm Haltech. His car with the tune put down 418 rwhp/420 tq on a Mustang dyno. I haven't dyno'd my car. With everything else being equal, including the driver, who wins??

He does. The halltech with tune woke that car up. I kno I have one. Tune is the big difference here.

You need a tune, regardless of what intake you have.

The tune will squeeze out all the extra ponies.

It's all about the tune

if u had a tune I would say its who can drive better, the difference in power if any would not be a difference imo

Tune or not its still a drivers race. Tune would make it alot easier tho.

If you had a tune it'd be 100% a drivers race, but you dong have a tune. So I'm going to say he's got you.
