Well, if you don't completely stop before you go, it doesn't work. Once you hit performance/ 0-60 then it will say stop the vehicle before moving. Or if you are already stopped you should be fine. And concourse pull through 60 and let the COBB read your results, no need to stop the COBB.

But I am sure that's not the problem? Have you updated the firmware recently? Was told the latest update a few days ago was a glitch. If so go back to the previous version and try again

Also, I am not sure, but maybe metric to standard could be an issue?

Thanks for your response...

Well I tried different firmware already. And yes I was stopped at 0. The only time when it worked was when I reached the speed in normal driving not going WOT.
Did you tried that feature did it worked? What is your ROM?

Stupid question, but are you sure you got to 60. Sometimes people stop when they read 60 on the speedometer. The speedometer is not very accurate and reads high. trying going to higher speed and see if that helps.

Yeah actually first few pulls I thought that this can cause the problem but later I've tried going much higher than 60 but still I get not numbers but symbols like this "-" where have to be seconds.

But did you tried and did this work to you.
I never saw that somebody would post video or photos of 0-60 time. Maybe it doesn't work at all?

I tried this a long time ago (may be a year and half or 2 years ago). It worked fine at the time. I used it to compare stage0 and stage1.

A lot happened since, did you try asking COBB about this?

I'll try out if I get the chance today as well

Well, been "gone" for a while but just did some more upgrades to the car recently and I just now downloaded all of the 402 maps (to include E30 and race). I have 100 octane pump available but I know race says 100+ and I would have a hard time actually getting a full tank of just 100 octane. I do think there is an E85 pump around here somewhere too. It looks like the E30 map might more power than the 100 octane race map? It would definitely be cheaper to blend E85 with 93 octane but I didn't know our fuel system would be able to handle it? I am FBO and completely catless. I guess, should I run the E30 map and just try to run about 1/2 E85 with 1/2 93 or should I get 100 octane and add some E85 to it and run the race map?

I know I could get a custom tune later, but I want to try something today I may go dyno this week as well to see what kinds of improvements everything makes. My new wheels are about 10 lbs. lighter than stock (and still 18's). My last dyno on aggressive + FMIC (302) was 387 rwhp and 423 rwtq on the stock wheels.

in terms of power, the race and E30 maps should be the same.

I find it easier to blend since I have E85 available and is cheaper then race gas.

You need 30% ethanol content, so do the math and fill your tank accordingly. Make sure not to have less then 30%... Log once you load the map to make sure all is good.

Too many used Cobb APs being sold

I was wondering as to why we have so many people selling their used Cobb APs?I have nothing against Cobb and most reviews I've read are positive about their tunes!

I did it not too long ago. I'll try and remember tonight and give it a try.

ROM I8AOS

Also, I can't data log with "Boost" as the on-screen option. LOL.. All others work just fine.

Yeah, you should love the E30 MAPs. Without an ethanol sensor, it is tough knowing exactly what the % is. Based upon E85 being 85% Ethanol and 91/93 USA Octance being 10% Ethanol, you should put about 4.5 gallons of E85 pump and 11.5 gallons of 93 or 91 (full tank). Use this calculator

http://www.intercepteft.com/calc.html

Remember, USA octane is RON+MON/2 = USA Octane, thus E85 is more like 96 USA Octane and of course 91 or 93 is 91 or 93 USA Octane.

Make sure you log some good 3rd gear pulls and see how your car responds to the E30 MAPs.

@VNeBLOB42 I believe this was an issue with having too many monitors selected for datalogging. Try reverting to the default monitors or removing some monitors from your list. If that doesn't take care of it, give our techs a call and we'll get you sorted.

thanks Josh,

Yes, sorry for the incomplete statement. This issue is only when the data logs are full, when only using Boost as the on screen option. As for getting past that, is there plans to fix? I believe Chris (krim) on the COBB Forums was going to get back to me but i haven't heard anything. Its really no big deal, I use CAT's now.

No worries. I believe it was passed off to the software guys, but I'll check tomorrow. Krim has been travelling for shows and doing some work at one of our other locations, so he's been staying busy lol. I'll check up on it.

In all cases, the amounts you see getting sold used is nothing compared to the amount being bought new. Its' perfectly normal

OTS will give you good power. If you are full bolt on and have access to E85, you can blend with 93 to achieve 30% ethanol and run the race map. That one is rock solid

if you want more you can go for a custom tune which will tailor the tune specifically to your car. This is what I've done. Car feels great. Will hit the dyno soon and post a review.

I want to try an OTS tune with my stock set up and add Meth and see how much power I can make using a race gas tune or if they have meth only tune,I will use that.
