Don't exaggerate. It takes three minutes to uninstall. That's one whole extra minute I'll never get back.

You're right, plus the hassle of plugging the computer in and out of the OBD2 port must be what the prisoners at guantanamo bay are subjected to.

The additional torque allows the car to run easier when the transmission ups itself into top gear at 35 MPH as it doesn't feel as starved. So my opinion is the Cobb purchase is well worth the expense plus the pain of uninstalling it before trips to the dealer.
I notice you are local to me, would you be comfortable meeting up at some point and taking me for a ride? Might be what pushes me over the edge haha

I love any excuse to go for a ride. I live about a mile south of Old Bellevue on Lake Washington. I don't see how to contact you off line here. Just give me a call/text to my cell phone which is four-two-five-four-four-two-three-eight-five-five. I can text you back with the appropriate contact information.

No jumpiness in my recent installation. It is actually smoother than default.

Anyone in or near Houston willing to let me drive their Cobb tuned S? I'm seriously interested in trying before buying.
