Thanks for your order!

Thanks Jeff, it all make sense once I started installing. I like it a lot! I can see how tuning can get addictive

Stage 2 + FMIC will require a TBE and FMIC with a heavy suggestion on a good intake. The Stage 2 + FMIC is what I have been working on above.

***Keep in mind everyone, the power numbers are not yet set. This is only what I have been running. They could go up or down.

Cheers,
Rob

Thanks for the info Rob

Would I be able to get away with running stage 2 + FMIC.. with cattless 3" DP's and maintaining the stock midpipes and mufflers?
I want to maintain the stock mids and mufflers to keep the decibels as close to stock as possible.
I'm pretty sure quite a few others are in the same boat...

catless DPs, FMIC, DCI for bolt-ons. Everything else is stock.

In all seriousness, if I can squeeze out 400-410 whp on 93 pump with a Cobb AP, goodbye meth kit. they're a pain in the ass sometimes.

i've always thought that catless DP's was NOT "stock exhaust".

i won't even do that..........too scared lol.....

Will this remove the top speed limiter as well?

I believe the current maps already have the top speed limiter defeated.

Will there be something for guys that only have FMIC and intake? Sort of likena stage 1+

Any one else experience this??

How many miles does your clutch have on it? My car is a MT and doesnt experience any slippage.

stixx2002 · 07-25-2011, 07:44 AM

I'm obviously in the minority, but I will be sending back my tuner today. The tune is definitely noticeable, but the AT shifts feel way too sloppy. The shifts are not crisp. They feel like they are always slipping into gear. Don't have this issue stock.

pHo_e92 · 07-25-2011, 08:27 AM

Sigh your such a tease Rob lol. i have FBO +TBE. GIMME STG2!! i wanna be a test pilot for stage 2. haha

danielfastv6 · 07-25-2011, 09:49 AM

Well I have had my AP for about a month now and all has been great. But now sence the new update is out with new maps ( 203v). for some reason my AP wont update, it goes throu the steps 1 of 7 then says reflashing AP steps 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 but then stops and says Error and doesnt do anything .... PLEASE HELP thanks please P.M. if you can help. I will call COBB to see if they can help as well

FBO = FULL bolt-ons. If you didn't do the whole exhaust, you don't have FULL bolt-ons...

Maybe I don't unerstand the market, but why did COBB decide to split stage two default maps between TBE and TBE FMIC? Seriously, how many people are going to be TBE without a FMIC?

Meanwhile I thought there are/were more of us with plans of running a lower power but more stealthy variant of stage 2 (1.5) with maybe FMIC Intake. Those people are SOL to realize more gains until ATR/ATP comes out.

Maybe there just wasn't enough gains over stage 1 to justify OOTB development.

I may do FMIC, but I'm not doing TBE.

Hi,
I'm waiting to receive my Cobb AP tomorrow and have already downloaded the AP Manager. After some more reading I came upon Cobb's Map Database.

How do I determine my ECU type? So I can DL the appropriate maps? Or is this done automatically after connecting the Cobb?

Anyone heard any inside info about meth integration? This is a must and it looks like Vishnu has a good head start.
