Drives well and feels fast that is a result - would love to see some high speed Durametric data to see if it can maintain those curves under big load.

Awesome gains!! We started to work directly with Cobb Tuning too. Their support has been great. Now that our IMSA racing season is over we're stoke to develop more maps and see if we can exceed the performance of our other ECU tuning platforms.

Sorry to speak out of turn here, but not at all. This graph depicts the power curve of when the gas pedal is pinned to the floor at 2500rpm on the dyno. Very rarely do drivers drive these cars like this in real driving situations. Typically the jump in torque at the low range indicates the intercooler flow is maxed out under peak loading condition(lower rpm range, full throttle, full boost pressure in 3rd or 4th gear). Anyway this is very impressive gain for ECU tuning alone. Like the OP said, its very smooth and man does that speed sneak up on you since it feels so smooth. Kudos to the OP's tuner!

Tom: Great to hear you guys are working with Cobb. Your involvement with them reassures their programming and products. I have been patiently waiting for their 997.1 GT3 version. Can you please give them a nudge, since you also own one!

Mitch is getting lots of nudges from me for the .1 GT3/RS tuning. It's coming soon, don't fret!

Will also be working on tuning my beast with them as I feel cobb is the best bang for the buck to get the tunes out for our engines and pending mods (dual cone air filters, Dundon/RK headers, 4.0RS plenum upgrades)

Mitch and Joe have been great to deal with and they're very nice guys!

Any other mods or just the COBB tune?

I am very pleased.My ultimate pleasure will be when you send my TPC PASM unit on Wednesday!
Looks like I am all set for passing state inspection too!
Thank you for all your help! Ron

Great session at Mosport Oct 2nd, on track with race prepped Gallardo, 997 GT3 RS, SLS AMG GT, & others. Video is straight out of the go pro all I added was the song, go pro sound is less than stellar.

The only other mod is headers and muffler
