It's safe, easy, fast, and very efficient when it comes to power gains. This is why WRX/STi people love them.

We've been selling 370Z Cobb APs in the sponsor classifieds section for a few months now.
How many have we sold? Answer - 8
That's nothing compared to the number we've sold for other cars (in the dozens).

If 370Z enthusiasts realize the true benefits and effectiveness of the Cobb AP, they will see more maps developed for them, from Stage 1 basic intake bolt on, to Stage 4+ upgraded twin turbo reflash maps. They aren't that huge of a company, so they can't put as much time into their R&D as they'd like. They are thinking smart, and I would too.

If more people purchase the Cobb APs, and email them more, we'll see more maps, and an decrease in time it takes to develop these maps as well.

Just my .02

The problem is, it's hard to justify spending the money on one until they crack VVEL or at least make some maps. I personally wouldn't spend the money on the AP then go pay to get protuned and only wind up with a few extra ponies. Just doesn't make sense. If they at least had some maps available so that we could get a little more bang for our buck more people might jump on it.

By the way, I used to have an AP for my STi.
