Good Stuff...APs are great tools.

Not sure if you saw AK's post earlier asking you to PM him your full name for AAM? Just in case you hadn't seen it.

Dr.Awkward · 04-14-2010, 10:16 PM

Pm'd him on the weekend, still nothing.

I forwarded your pm to him. Maybe I will email them.

Hi Dr Awkward. I'll look into this for you today and contact you as soon as possible -we sent a whole bunch out recently. I'll make sure you are taken care of!

And a BIG thank you everyone else for the continued support.

Regards,

Clint

Who did you PM? Will? If so, I'll get with him to get this resolved for you.

So has Cobb actually made any progress on their tuning? And would it be any different than your tuning? I dont understand why they cant do what you guys are doing and putting the files on thier site for others to DL. They should pay you guys to make the maps for the different bolt on mods and put them on their site or something, so we can just DL them as we do or undo mods. Or you all could do that.

Dr.Awkward · 04-15-2010, 10:56 AM

Hey thanks guys and yes I placed the order with Will over the phone a couple Saturdays ago.

Jesus... mine currently says 11.9 mpg. Damn Los Angeles traffic... my average speed is 17.3 mph. Nothing but stop and go.

Awesome I finally found a proper tuning company. well I hope so, they have the cobb logos and other stuff like top secret on their website

Before you folks get too carried away with your AP "power" results....if these are "canned" tunes sent to you and were NOT specifically customed to your own car's data...I would at least go to a local dyno and do a pull to get a reading of the A/F ratio.

The reason I caution you is that many of you folks are claiming a noticeable increase in torque. When I received a "canned" tune for my Shelby GT Mustang I too noticed a hell of a SOTP difference in torque.

So I had a dyno-pull done of the car with the "canned" tune installed. I then compared the tune data that was created custom to my particular Shelby using a dyno against the data of my dyno-pull of the "canned" tune that had been sent to me by the programming unit dealer.

And low and behold what I found was that the A/F ratio numbers were showing a very dangerously leaned out condition through the low RPM range which resulted in a very noticeable gain of torque ft-lbs.... ...at which time in the higher RPM range fuel would then be dumped in to richen the mixture and bring the A/F into its "sweet-spot" to maximimze the upper RPM HP power curve.

This canned tune was NOT a reasonablely safe tune to be using. Yes the car acted like a torque monster with that "canned" tune and everything was great and fun. BUT I was destryong the engine in the process of running that tune.

What you guys are posting sounds so eerily familiar to what I experienced. I learned a great lesson from it all as well and that was DON'T ASSUME because a "canned" tune comes from a reputable programming dealer that the tune must be SAFE to use in your particular vehicle.....it is not always the case and you will neer know unless you verify WTF is going on by doing an independent dyno-pull that includes the A/F ratio read.

Dr.Awkward · 04-24-2010, 12:15 PM

Ap can display the a/f ratio, and it's much better after the canned tune.

djpathfinder · 04-24-2010, 12:54 PM

Can you make changes yourself with an AccessPort (change rev limit, A/F ratios, advance timing, etc), or can you only switch programs that a tuner makes for you as an end user with it?

thanks for the info, I guess I just automatically assume that because its a reputable performance tuning company that they'd sell me a product that would be safe with my car, but just to be even more on the safe side and to see how much more I can pull out of it, i'm having mine tuned further at Cobb in Plano in a few weeks
