That's not the point. They should be using the same grade of gasoline on
each run regardless of the timing curve. Granted, it probably wouldn't make
any difference if they both ran 91, but it should still be done to see what
the TRUE benefits of the superchips box are. To compare, it would make no
sense to test a Fastman 52mm tb on an otherwise stock vehicle, then test an
F&B 52mm on a vehicle with headers. You are looking for the differences
that the tb's make, and that alone. It's basic science, and one of the
first things you were likely taught in your high school science class.
