Just received my Accessport!
 

Ok, a few days ago I ordered an AP from AAM, when you purchase one from them they include a map tuned to your specific modifications, now while they cant get the tune right on because every vehicle is different, you apparently can still obtain some serious juice. I called them when I ordered and they asked me what I had done, and where I lived, elevation, etc.

Well I received it in the mail about an hour ago. I plugged it up and installed the map, took about 15 minutes total. The first thing I immediately noticed was the fact that the seatbelt light thats been driving me nuts for the past 2 months went out, it came on initially because I removed the passenger seat before the drags one night and hasnt went out until today, woo!. I was pretty stoked about that let me tell you.

At this point, I was so pumped that I didnt even lock my door or grab my wallet, I wanted to get this thing out on the highway. Now I have no idea whatsoever what kind of torque or hp was added, but i'll say this, I gained EVERY bit of low end torque that I lost from the Intakes/HFC/Exhaust combination. You guys have no idea how excited I am right now, and to think i'll even pull more power when I get tuned at Cobb in Plano in a month or two. So this thing does alot, 0-60 times, 1/4 mile, Dyno, and it will clear and read SES codes. Ok, done with the review, time to go out and try some more fun stuff with this thing, thanks Altered Atmosphere, you guys are awesome!

Sweet! Mine should be on its way too. Glad to hear its doing its job!

You're gonna love it mike! Quick question to anyone who knows, what software do I have to have to view the maps on my computer? It says its a .ptm file and I have no clue at all how to view the maps, or what i need to do.

Are you able to get updated maps from them?

Also, what does it include? Higher rev limit, throttle programming, etc?

I'm not sure about getting more from AAM, but apparently this is the best tune you can get without having it dyno tuned by them personally. Apparently Cobb is going to be adding tunes to their website that will be available for download in the near future. Not sure about the rev limit or throttle programming either, I cant view the maps on my computer right now for some reason. How bout giving them a call? or you could check out the Cobb website, CobbTuning.com - Home Page

Ha, i did my first Cobb "dyno" pull, I made the goof of not compensating for my additional weight in the car and set the weight at 3232, and because I cant legally do any high speed runs, I set the dyno to begin in 3rd gear at 2k rpms and finish at 7k, Here are the results.. 312whp at 6525 rpms and 255 ft./lbs at 6057, now I was pretty happy with this because if i added my weight and did the pull in 4th or 5th gear up to 7-7.5k, the numbers would have been much much higher. Modified recently did a test on a handheld tuning device to see how accurate the digital dyno is and they were within +/- 2whp and same for TQ, not bad I say, NOT BAD AT ALL!! heres a pic, sorry for the quality but you can see the numbers.

I had that same problem...except it was the air bag light. I went to the dealership and they fixed it within a few seconds. I love my dealership, i told them the truth that i took the seat out for drag racing and they didnt charge me.

So the AP is defently worth getting?

I have absolutely no reason to doubt the accuracy or validity of that dyno! :tup:

Good to hear people are getting results. Man, I wish I could get that AAM tune. I currently just have FI high-flow cats and an FI exhaust though.

Worth every single penny my friend, especially since they were $700 a few months ago, you can get one from Altered Atmosphere tuned with your current mod list for $495 shipped, so far, I can feel every ft./lb I gained. Plus you get all those fun little bonuses as well (0-60, 1/4 mile timer, dyno, code reader/reset) and the tuneability for the future, Twin Turbo, Supercharger, etc. Get one, you wont be sorry.

Did you notice a loss in low end torque when you added the cats/cbe? I felt like I lost the low end, but gained in the mid and upper range. When I reflashed this afternoon, I gained every single bit of that back and then some. I wouldnt be surprised if I gained 20+ ft./lbs and 15whp. They can tune your car with just those mods man, give them a call.

Sounds awesome.

you can go to cobbs web site and they have some maps to download. valet, stock and one other right now. Red do you have a copy of the stock tune on the access port? Ill be calling you aroun 9 am if thats not too early to get these HFCs on.

Dumb question.. Could a map be created for just CAI and CBE (no HFCs)??

yes

I'm impressed. Sounds like a lot of fun.
