What new under-hood Performance Parts would you like to see from COBB Tuning?

CharBoiler

Not sure what happened to Cobb but it seems like they have been on a downhill path. Back when I had my 04 STi, Cobb seemed to get nothing but good reviews. Then I started to hear mixed reviews when I got my 09 STi. Now this from the Z community. Did Cobb change owners?

i don't think they are on a downward path and personally i can understand te developement time here as this car is a PITA. If they get the VVEL cracked they'll be miles ahead of uprev. When that happens i will go out and by one the next day if it opens my cars tuning up to me on my laptop.

Right... but just don't be saying "in a few weeks"... especially since it's been more than 10 months.

COBB Tuning

First of all, I think it is important to let you all know that we understand that maps for the 370Z is the most important thing that COBB Tuning needs to offer to the 370Z community at this time. This survey was to gauge interest in other parts that 370Z enthusiasts might want to see from COBB Tuning, but given the delays in 370Z maps, perhaps it was inappropriate for us to post this survey here. If so, I apologize.

Regarding the 370Z maps, everyone wants VVEL cracked. We are working on figuring it out, but it is extremely complex, and we cannot offer a timeline that estimates when we will have this sorted out.

We are very late in delivering these maps as we were hoping to have VVEL tuning incorporated in them. Since the time frame for VVEL tuning is currently unknown, do 370Z AccessPORT owners want Off the Shelf maps created with the software as it exists today, without VVEL tuning?

well we have been getting canned maps from another company to be used with your product. Kinda sad another company had to do it.

Absolutely! I can't imagine why this wasn't done a long time ago. Sure we'd love to have VVEL cracked but at least give us some basic canned maps to tide us over in the meantime. I know I won't be buying an AP until OTS maps are available.

The AAM threads answer that question with a big, fat YES.

Some ideas for new under the hood parts (like other companies):

* Oil cooler
* CAI
* LW Pulleys


I'm assuming that you'll only produce bolt-ons; otherwise, I'd also say:

* Valvetrain Upgrades
* Intake Manifold

In all honesty, I am waiting on the VVEL to be cracked before buying the Cobb AP. Until then, I will be considering other alternatives. I understand that the VVEL system is complex, but next time don't promise something before it's actually available. This is why you have so many upset Z34 owners on here.

Intakes would be nice, but if it's anything like the one on your Time Attack Z34, count me out. Short rams have been shown to lose power time and time again, and I seriously doubt you'd be able to make a huge profit selling those. If it were a long tube/CAI, I'd consider it. Just use hard pipes rather than the rubber hoses like your post-MAF pipes- I know that aluminum/metal retains more heat, but it is more asthetically pleasing. A head package would be awesome- think exhaust cam with intake VVEL shims for longer lift/duration. You'd be the first on the market with that.

Just my $0.02.

I think it would be good to have a couple base maps without VVEL. I'm expecting the gains will be in the 3% range, similar to the G37. I'm sure the midrange and responsiveness of the car would improve as well.

That said, COBB should still have cracking VVEL as a high priority since it is a technology that Nissan/Infiniti will continue to use for many years and it could net some huge tuning gains (not to mention a ton of sales for COBB).

370Zsteve

So you don't want short intakes because they lose power but you'll take metal pipes which retain more heat than rubber, thereby losing power from intake temps?

transmission chip for even quicker shifts and maybe convert the D mode into a sport mode.
