COBB improves performance again with Stage1 v102 calibrations!

[Braden @ COBB]

Hey All!

Earlier this week we had some time to revisit the Stage1 calibrations to incorporate all of the improvements and enhancements we uncovered while working on Stage2 and Stage3 calibrations. This includes changes to our Boost Control, Ignition Timing , Fueling, and Grill Shutter Strategies. This is something we are constantly doing to ensure your car is running as optimally and safely as possible. The results from testing were absolutely phenomenal!



Dyno Results

As you can see, we have substantially improved the mid-range and top-end performance! If you thought the car was transformed on the original v101 map, get ready to be rocked again! All areas of the power curve were improved and given the opportunity to dynamically increase power as conditions and octane permit. This means you may see additional power on top of what we see on our dyno!

These calibrations are currently available to all AccessPORT owners through a BETA firmware update which is available using AccessPORT Manager and selecting "Check for BETA firmware" in the options menu. We've also added even more data monitors to get a much closer look at the operation of the vehicle! Check out the new data monitor list next time you fire up the AccessPORT to see what we've added. These will make there way into our production firmware with full release notes soon!

Notice
If your AccessPORT is currently installed, you will need to uninstall to unlock the v102 calibrations after the firmware update. During the re-install process the v102 maps will be visible and available to flash to the vehicle. Enjoy!

Two more days and mine will be here. I can't wait! Still need the COBB RMM to go with it. After looking at the dyne sheets I am certain the bang and wheel hop will be ugly with the stock RMM. Looking forward to it all.

Wow, where to begin with the Stage 1 93LT v102.

Well, let me start off by saying that my Beautiful Blue Babe has been transformed into some kind of hideous Beast.

I just completed the Steeda sway bar install and decided to upload the new mapping and go for a ride to check out both on my 8 mile road.

Whew, that surge of power around 4750 or so until 5500, I'm sorry I had to let off the pedal and shift, the Beast was still unrelenting and wanting more.

Once I decided to settle down on the twisty roads and I was in 6th I gave the Beast a mash of the throttle. This car picked up and moved on like it was in 3rd or 4th gear. Try that in your ST that hasn't had a tune yet. It will slowly spool up and eventually begin to build the power. This car wants to duel, plain and simple.

I almost feel like I could pull a 9000lb trailer, but I wouldn't punish my ST like that. There is some noticeable power gains going on here with this latest mapping. I haven't even started yet with the Monitor mode and figuring out the 0-60 times and 1/4mile info yet. I have to recover from the blast I just did.

Chad and Geargrinder: I wish I could see your faces once you install this mapping and hit the pedal. I recommend that you try Stage 1 91LT v101 first before you jump to v102 so you can experience the difference between the two.

To sum things up, thanks for turning my Babe into a Beast. I look forward to any other upgrades and modification in mapping that you guys at Cobb come up with.


P.S. Now I feel I have to go and buy some big brakes or some better pads to slow this Beast down. It NEVER ends.

Yeah, I truly can't wait. Ill load each one in order and see what happens. What RMM are you running?

[banditscout]

Awesome Braden! So excited to pick mine up!!

[ST2Focus]

Right now I switched back to the OEM RMM. If I start to experience any issues like the 1-2bang I'll consider looking at other options to alleviate any issue I encounter. Wheel hop I'lll deal with for the time being.

Oh no I'm going straight for the v102! My AP should be here on Monday, so five minutes after that I'll let you know how it is.

Funny because I'm even more excited about the Cobb RMM than the AP right now. Can't wait to able to order that!
