Cars in comparison...
Don's (lt4camaro) LT1 - 11.34 @ 123.6 mph
and
ZL1C7 SS 1LE - 11.13 @ 123.7

I'm not saying a trans tune wouldn't do what you say but I just think in this case between those two cars is a bad example.
IMO there's too many variables and unknowns between those two cars to come to a solid conclusion to prove it's obvious. Maybe you can point out what I am missing?

Weight taken out for each car was pretty close.
Mods pretty close.
I know the LT1 car had drag pack (I own them now, thanks Don ) but what about the 1LE car?
LT1 had a 1.67 60' but we don't know about the 1LE car.
1LE car does start heavier but has a better gear so that could be taken into account also.
Then there's some confusion on the actual DA of both runs. LT1 says 12-1500 but in his post here https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=615768 he says 900 range.
1LE says his is "500 ft corrected" so not sure what to make of that.

For .2 difference and same MPH there's too many variables there for me to look at and say yeah it's the trans tune. For no trans tune on the LT1, I think it ran pretty damn good! The same night my car ran, it did .2 slower probably due to heat soak even though it ran in a little bit better DA later in the night. Just too many variables
Hey Joe, see if you can dig up the time slip for the 1LE pass and I agree on wondering what the 500 ft correction is all about, was it a track corrected time slip to calculate for a lower DA? If I ran in 900 DA, I probably would have picked up 1MPH and a tenth.
