So I finally bit the bullet on the AP (should arrive today) for my 04 XT Auto. I'm running a Speedtech catted TBE and an SPT short ram intake.
I was hoping for an opensource tune, but since I keep getting put off, I thought I'd better be safe than sorry (track day next week).
I read all about using the stock intake and how OTS maps leave alot on the table, etc, etc. But I found the Cobb forum for XT's to be largely worthless.
So what I'm wondering is:
Do any users have some advise for me? Or tips and tricks?
Are the Cobb e-tunes worth anything?
I might like to do some custom maps myself in the future. But I think I've got alot of learning to do before this happens.
This car is mostly a daily driver, couple track days a year, maybe some SCCA in the future, but it's still gotta get to work on Monday. So I figured I didn't need an amazing dyno protune for the commute, and switching maps sounds nice.
I see other guys using the AP till' they get to a point where they get a super-duper dyno'd opensource tune, then sell the AP on the forum. That might be the direction I'm heading.
Bottom line, this is like my 3rd major hobby, so I'll never be an expert, and I'm not super deep in the local Suby community, hence getting back burnered by the local opensource guys.
Any advise welcome. Thanx
