COBB or PROcede - Pros and cons?
It is time for me to buy a tune for my car, the options are COBB and PROcede. Does anyone have any experience of these two tunes and then maybe could give me some feedback?
I will run DP, IC, intake and catback exhaust. Thanks in advance! |

I love my Cobb Stage 1+ with the V4.02 maps. Ultra smooth, drives better than stock. If you are going to ever get into big turbos/meth, you might be better off with the Procede offers some additional flexibility over the Cobb software.

I would say the biggest difference between the Cobb package and Procede package is that the Cobb is a flash tune where you just plug the Accessport into your OBDII port to load the software. The procede requires physical hardware that needs to be installed in the engine compartment, so its not as easy of an install. Both platforms have reliable track records with procede owners reporting slightly better dyno results vs the off-the-shell cobb maps. With the Cobb software, you can get Pro-tuned by your tuner of choice and this should help close up the gap between the Procede and Cobb dyno's.

Procede for all the added features and constant updates. Power is great too, you should buy mines :-D

Cobb is very simple to install. Procede will take you an hour to install the first time then 15 mins or so after that. With the Cobb you get a pretty good tune but I've heard mixed reviews on the 1M. (It's quite possible that's been fixed by now). With the Procede you get a fantastic tune for the 1M which will make a bit more power than cobb and be very smooth. You also get a lot of functionality through the gear stalk levers to play with different displays etc. Procede also offers the ability to run meth if you want to at some later date. Also has an awesome tune for running e85 if you want to do that at a later date. With the Cobb you can take the car to a dyno and custom tune for you car to get closer to Procede off the self tune results.

Decided to go for the COBB. The possibility to change throttle response and maps was the main decision. And in my opinion it seems to be the best flash tune right now with the most options.

Top end was ok in map 1, but the change in the tq curve really makes the car feel like a tuned 135 vs the special feeling the car has stock. I'm planning on getting the GIAC stage 2 flash next week and will redyno to compare. |

Happy ESS Stage 1 user here. Will go to stage 2 very soon. The handheld unit that plugs into OBDII port is a snap and I can change tunes in a matter of minutes!

I can definitely see what your saying with regards to torque on your graph. What was their response?
