I dont doubt that the edit worked, im just questioning how well it worked. Look at the simple facts:

The car made 120rwkw with the edit, in a world of all things good thats around 8% gain over stock. In similar conditions to the nats the car ran a 15.9 stock. Edit gets added he gains the extra power goes back and runs a 16.2 or 16.3 ??
This is where the AT and IT come into play... the AT and IT were significantly different enough to get people asking questions, if a car is sucking in 16C air and being measured at 30C, there is enough of a correction factor to distort the reading.
Now thinking about it, a car with 120rwkw should run .2 to .3 faster than a 110rwkw car. Basically what im getting at is that if the track conditions were at their worst the car should still be running around 15.9
As for the ecu learning around edit, I agree to a certain extent but there would be no reason to expect it to "bed in" over a number of days as cars modified at the track with an edit tune have shown immediate results in the past, ie. ratters 290
