I would love to get a discussion going on this! What is better? A tuned 500 horsepower vehicle or a stock 500 horsepower vehicle? Of course there are other variables but just generally speaking, which would perform better ideally?

Well, a "Stock system" is still tuned by the factory. A "Tuned System" may be pushing the upper end of sustained reliability. There is a reason why Top Fuel Drag racers tare down the car every 1/4 mile.
