06 computer work on a 05?
Will a 06 computer plug in and work on a 05? That would be a quick and easy way to tell if the 06 has superior tuning. You could actually change them at the track.

Why not let a good tuner massage your '05? Seems like that would probably be better than the stock '06, and probably cheaper than buying a new computer

I think it will be easier just to wait until Jim & Daren take a trip down the track.

Not really, it just proves both of their driving styles work well with the stock tune if both run well. If Daren falls off Jims times then that would be an indication of TM. But what if neither can match the others times? Too many varibles.

Very good point, but we will have to wait until they actually run before we can begin to analyze the results and then pound them (the results) to death
