That seems awfully quick for relatively minor mods. Has any other Cobb Stage 2+ owner been able to achieve similar results? I'm intrigued by the power potential on pump gas, however way too many variables I've seen on the forum with another guy running a second slower than Rnmevo9 and almost 13mph slower to boot...

Cobb
I just installed my Cobb yesterday with a DCI and wow the car pulls so much harder. Tuesday i will take to the track again and see how much my MPH picks up as I feel traction will be a issue now. Ran best of 8.74 at 81.7mph bone stock.

its a 6 speed - most are comparing the times of autos...which will be slower than a capable driver in a 6 speed by .2-.3 of a second, IMO

If he's running a COBB he's N54, so that would be a steptronic, not DCT.
It's an '08 car, so def. a step or 6spd Manual, but not DCT.

Oh yeah, and I'm very certain that 6MTs being faster than 6ATs is a true statement on many other platforms, but on this one, the auto simply accelerates faster thanks to its consistent shifts, holding boost between shifts and shorter gear ratios. |

so your argument is that BMW made the auto shittier and slower on the n55 than it was on the n54....nope, aint going to bite that one - doesn't make sense.

The fact is, the auto n54's are slightly faster than a similarly equipped manual n54. Manuals shine once you have a turbo upgrade as they are more cost effective to upgrade to handle the extra power. |

personally, i think thats bc most people can't drive 6 speed well (not saying I can either, lol), and not so much bc the auto is "faster".....but to each his own - I don't want to argue, just stating what I have experienced.
