Sup all. I've been sitting on my tax refund for months now, watching the Cobb AP saga unfold and waiting to place my order. But after seeing their initial dyno results, and still seeing no indication that it will be safe to run even their base tune with my MS CAI (and no, I won't sell the MS CAI and buy a Cobb SRI), I'm starting to think, maybe that same money would be spent better elsewhere.
Now, I can't do just ANY mod... I know there are a LOT of things that you can get for around or under a grand. My requirements are that whatever mod(s) I get, can be very easily installed and uninstalled, and/or are dealer/warranty friendly (MS parts). So things l like exhaust or piggyback's that need to be spliced in, are out.
The TMIC looks like a great option though, for ~$600, especially if the 20 whp claim is true (so far I've only found the dyno on the manufacturers website, which I take with a grain of salt). The Cobb AP still looks good... but it seems it's more for people who are really going to do a lot of mods and will at some point, be able to take advantage of it's tune-ability to custom tailor things to the mods they have. I never really planned to do much more than a few basic bolt ons... so while the base tune that Cobb is providing is dissapointing, the full features of the unit may be too much for me.
So... there's my question. Is the ETS 3.25" TMIC really good for consistent 20 whp claims? Does anyone have their own personal before-and-after dyno's to back this up (and yes, I've been searching the forum for this!). And does anyone else feel my money is better spent on the TMIC than the AP?
