When you get ProTuned, the tune is essentially tailor made to your mods, quality of gas used, etc. To compare an OTS COBB against a JB4/PROcede isn't an accurate comparison, especially when most people are seeing 40-50 WHP gains with their ProTune Maps over the OTS Maps (more when doing E85 blends).
That is a fact, however - JB/Procede are also OTS tunes, so I think it's fair to compare to a Cobb OTS map/tune.

Because a protune is custom per car/owner, no two Protune tunes are the same so they cannot be fairly compared to a JB4 which is all OTS tunes.

Now compare a custom Vishnu tune to a Cobb tune - and that would be fair.

The point is custom tunes should not be compared to any OTS tune.
