Well here's what I came up with. The dip was significant enough that I wasn't sure if it was boost cut or knock or both causing the dip but I definately felt it on the dyno. Since i need my daily driver to be in good shape, i put on the "Stock Style v103" map. This is the bone stock style map from their website. As expected the LTFT's are a bit high, about 11's under part throttle, 8 under WOT. However, I get no dips, no knock above 0.7 when cruising on a rare occasion and the car pulls almost as hard as before, just a wee bit less. Downshifting to third still pulls the tires out and 1st and 2nd are a joke.
My spark plugs never came from when i ordered them like 10-11 days ago. I sent an email to Dabears2k to cancel my order and refund my money in full immediately. Their service was non-existant and my order was never filled. I have a seperate thread about that experience.
Ever since i sent an email to Cobb requesting that they update the tune to smooth it out for the mods they cover per tune, i never heard back from them. I will be calling today to discuss this in further detail. If they will adjust just air/fuel for the Cobb SF intake so its more reasonable, i will be plenty happy with the setup. I can feel that the SF intake pulls significantly harder than just the Mazdaspeed cold air in short ram. Not sure if thats due to the velocity stack or what, but its noticeable. (Not absurdly better though).
