Installing Cobb ap

Initial Reactions:
Install process - very easy to install, it took me under 20 mins to install the AP (back up stock ECU) and load Stage 1 Aggressive Linear.

First Impression: Maybe its placebo but the car immediately sounded different. I could hear the turbos spooling while i was driving out of my parking garage (seemed louder than stock). The exhaust also seemed to sound a bit more quiet if that makes any sense.

First pull I eased the throttle down and gradually accelerated, felt the difference immediately. Second pull I punched it and the back started to give out and traction control kicked in. Third I punched it down a straight a little shorter than a 1/4 mile i'm guessing probably made it to between 100-105 before i had to get on the brakes for a corner.

So from 10 minutes worth of testing I can safely say i'm happy with the performance thus far. I logged some of the data but i'm not sure how to read the file so i'll post it up so some of the more technical guys can take a look and tell me if everything seems to be running right.

Feel free to ask any questions.. sorry it isn't a more exciting or in-depth post but i worked all day and i'm tired so 10 mins of driving and killing my tires is all i was willing to do..

Here is the log: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...m5weXh2TWt1LUE

can someone please look at it and tell me if everything seems ok

Any particular reason you are using the Linear throttle mapping? Most people seem to agree the Stock feels better on the streets and Linear for racing.

Stock throttle is 100x better.
