Well, I will say this, you get what you pay for sir! Meaning, Cobb charges a lot but they make it easy and making it easy costs development time which means you pay more for it.

Is it that bad?

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!

Tells me its up to date, but locks my computer in the process so I'm left unsure and nervous about it. I even had my IT guy log me in as an administrator to ensure that my permissions weren't screwing with the process.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!

Didn't get a chance to try the Diablo tune since it wasn't playing nice with my work laptop, but once I got home on a different computer it updated just fine. Below are the results from yesterday:





386whp/406wtq
WHP is just a touch lower than I was expecting, but WTQ is about what I figured. For comparison, stock C7's are putting down 410-420whp on Dynojets.

It was easily 100F+ in the dyno room yesterday since it opens to the outside, not the air conditioned shop, plus Calvin had just finished tuning an Evo.

Overall, I'm very happy! Solid numbers for a stock baseline, plus it makes my X look that much more impressive (425whp/400wtq)!

Yup, but having 350lbs of TQ at under 2000RPM sure is sexy

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!

AFE Momentum ProDryS intake & Weapon-X ported throttle body installed this weekend! I'm still waiting for Diablo to release their AFE intake OTS map, but when they do I will flash it on and take the car back to the dyno to see the gains.

(pics to follow)

Looks clean and subtle. I like it. If you didn't know any better you'd never even notice. That to me is how you can tell the good aftermarket stuff from the great stuff, when it can pass for OEM.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!

I've been really impressed with AFE products. I ran their filter in my S2k, their Stage 2 intake in my X, and now their Momentum intake and only keep getting more impressed with their products as they progress. No aftermarket product is perfect, but theirs are as close as I've found. BMW guys take note, they make a ton of stuff for your cars too.

The car immediately started up and ran/idled just fine. Drivability is great; I am getting a little rev-hang between gears buy my X did the same with the ported TB and it just took the ECU a little while to learn & adjust for it. The car sounds even meaner now, throttle response is much improved, and the butt dyno tells me the parts are doing their job

GHEYRAY WILL OWN YOU!

Such a nice little setup, and the best part is you can sell it once you install the blower!
