I am going to make an assumption (especially considering I use to have a Cobb for my STi) Cobb probably isn’t as focus on the 370z platform as much as they are in Subaru and Mitsubishi.
When I had one for my STi, they would come out with new ROM versions like twice a year. Cobb gains are huge with cars with Turbo’s where as our naturally aspirated Z’s have more subtle gains. If I was Cobb, I would do the same. They need to focus most of their time/energy on the market niche that will provide the most profit. When you talk with various tuners (least the couple I have talked with) they all have nothing but good comments for the guys at Cobb.
If you watch the explanation video’s on the VVEL system…it doesn’t take a genius to realize it is a really complicated system. I don’t doubt that you could do serious engine damage if you tune that system incorrectly so the Cobb guys are probably crossing there T’s and doting there I’s and making their tuning technology is what it needs to be to before they release it to the public. If they didn’t do enough testing and released a product that was f****** up peoples engines then there company would get serious bad press. Not to mention…I don’t want to damage my 40k car for a 10hp pre-mature VVEL tune.
Either way….I have been eagerly awaiting the VVEL tune technology to be released as well. I don’t feel like waiting any longer for my first tune so I decided to go ahead and I have scheduled time with Altered Atmosphere. When VVEL tuning is released and if the gains warrant another tune…then so be it.
