    Performance boxes are good to measure how fast a car is in real life, but if you don't know the weight exactly, then it is hard to measure hp.
    So if you want to make a comparison test you will need to find a place that has the possibility to weigh the cars, so you can get some hp/torque wheel numbers as well.

      i know of a place near me, but obviously im quite far north. Im sure there are lots of weight bridges around the country we can find. Of course everything is an estimation, and weight is the most important piece of info to have.

          No experience at all(!) with VEMS.
          Only standalone ECU I have mapped a little so far is Tatech. I could map your charger setup on V8 Motronic easily though ha...

          And I would need an engine dyno anyway to map a standalone.

          I am not afraid at all to do it, just I think there are better options than myself.

                    Not much content yet, but I will be updating it as I go

                    I am not a pro at this, but know my way around PHP, knocked it up yesterday evening and added some content today.

                    Any constructive criticism and/or tips would be appreciated.

                      I can send you my whole log folder if you want to look through it.
                      I have not labelled it, so I don't remember what is what anymore

                          Is at least the basic engine specs? I think it is very nice of you for sharing the logs of the cars you tune.

                          Most tuners dont share....it's like they are state secrets!

                            I really don't remember, I just have them with names like year-month-day-time.txt
                            I don't mind sharing them, but tuning turbo cars is not that hard, you just boost until you stop making power and/or hit some limits, and that's it. It is different for every car, so there is not much to do with the logs anyway, besides looking at them when tuning.

                              Still, it helps learn! Combination of things....collecting experience from others ect.

                                Yes, perhaps.
                                But many jump to conclusions. For example if I post a log and I don't say it is from 8.0:1 CR engine, if someone tries to run the same timing on stock CR he will blow up his engine.
