What is that, what does it do?

They started the tuning around 9 AM and by 3 PM it was done......and yes, I can feel it! Just a slight 8 HP gain! It drives and takes off really well! (Not that it didn't before) :p

From the Cobb website:

POWER. FLEXIBILITY. CONTROL. The AccessPORT is the industry leading OEM ECU flashing, managing and monitoring assistant. Unlock power hidden within the ECU by replacing conservative factory settings with more aggressive calibrations. The result is impressive gains in torque and horsepower while maintaining a high degree of safety. The AccessPORT comes with pre-installed maps that are optimized for common performance modifications.

Tuning flexibility ranges from simply loading one of the included performance maps designed for common modifications, all the way to complete custom map authoring using our powerful AccessTUNER software. Extract maximum power from virtually any modification while retaining the driveability and sophistication inherent in the OEM ECU.

:wtf2:

:icon17:

not bad tony. i think an accessport is for next year...if i really do go for it, that is XD

oh god need more vicodin, my missing wisdom teeth are giving me fits D:

for a 8hp gain? or is it more?

That's it so far......I was asked to come back to Altered Atmosphere next week and they'll re-evaluate it. I was the first one they've done so I'm the guinea pig on this one. :p

Nice, keep us up to date.

Getting a tune is usually more about just HP gain, you usually get some HP gain, rev limiter is increased, and the car is tuned to be more natural.

yea Dreamer I see that and I agree, everything you can bolt on all adds up on the dyno or the track.

Ah yes.....the guy who tuned my car is the GT-R tuner for Altered. He would do a dyno...then let the car sit for about 10 minutes....then another dyno....10 minutes.....etc. etc.....I'm happy with how things turned out. Next time I go back to Altered I'm hoping for a little OJT on how the AccessPORT works. I can apparently see what my reaction time is, my quarter mile, and if the "Smurf" blows a CEL, the PORT should tell me the code. Pretty cool stuff! :tup:

its a cool gizmo to have!!!

Hmmm..time to update the signature again.....;)

hide the beer!

Time to shave the Beaver!
 

arm the battle stations

My favorite quote from June Cleaver...... "Ward, don't be so hard on the Beaver" :rofl2:

2theextreme, what is the rev limiter at how? Or did they not change it?

Assume Position for insertion!

I'm not sure what they changed or set....but when I drove home it seems that the car still shifts at the same rpm and mph. Once they installed it, I had to head home to make sure I could get to the hospital for their new visiting hours....:icon14: I'll call Altered tomorrow and speak to the man who did the tune and let you know. :tup:

should be 8.5 from 8??

Lets see.....I still need to do:

Replace factory headlights with the new 6000K bulbs
Install the CF B Pillars
Get right side (passenger side) exhaust pipe looked at....its pushed in a little too far....can't even read the Stillen name on the pipe anymore
A little OJT on the AccessPORT

Still a little bit of work to do....but getting there!
