Hell that was just the first example I saw. Remember, 2 minute google search.What difference does the ecu make? That's the main point sir, it makes all the difference. You are showing examples from cars over 10-15 years old using very simply ecu systems. Unti you realize this I am wasting my time trying to even discuss this.
You're just stuck on the ecu correcting. Please point out where I said it COULDN'T do that. You mean when you lowered inlet temps and the computer compensated for it and it picked up power? Whaaaaa? You're making a point that wasn't being argued. I know I said it wasn't as big of a deal on these ecus (for the forth time now). But ecus don't have to be old. Are 2010 Ford ecus tuned closed loop at WOT? My GT500 is open loop at WOT. It's only 4 years old. Turn off your multipliers and force open loop and see if it's the same. The only point was there was a potential for power loss if you set it and forget it. I show it's entirely possible and you bring up archaic ecus. Now it's not a discussion of whether it's POSSIBLE, but it's the computers fault. It's just like any other part you put on. The gains are better met when you tell the ecu exactly what to expect.
There are so many more variables here not even discussed. Like fuel distribution of a liquid an efi intake designed to only flow air. Especially on a PD blower where it's shot thru the intercooler and the blower tries to push all the air to the back of the intake. What happens when the ecu advances timing (if there is any left in the timing tables) and the distribution is lopsided? No worries, the super advanved ecu will fix all of it. If that was possible we wouldn't have a board littered with complaints of tunes would we? If they were so self reliant and godly why are so many more blowing up than ever before?
