Default Tuning for bracket car

Which would be best for bracket racing and what are pros/cons of each? Open loop tune, speed density, etc?.......I know little about tuning and don't do my own but I'm looking for the most consistent option...........Thanks

Mine is much slower than yours, but I just had a standard tune done with LS1edit, and the car is very consistent.

We have a few very consistant bracket cars. They are OLSD tuned with the IAT's locked at 70 degree's.

We run the cars at a flat A/F of say 13-1 at WOT from 2000rpm to redline. Then the owner adjusts a FPR under the hood for different weather situations. The owner tracks AFR with an in car wideband. This gives them the ability to richen or lean the car out for weather.
They are doing very well with this. Top in point's so far this year.
