Not really one that into gas millage, but on a trip noticed the car was getting less than 19 mpg on the hwy doing 85-90. OK, me driving fast. By happenstance, the AccessPort was in the car and used it for something it actually kinda does do (even though it's not accurate)...... read the 02 settings. They were pig rich. Pulled over, downloaded the stock tune and the car jumped 4-4.5 mpg better still driving the same speed with normal looking 02 readings.

Kept the stock tune in the car for a while and tried downloading a newer version hoping the bug was fixed. Reprogrammed the ECU and this time doing a road trip to a seminar down in Houston. Same story..... The Accessport negatively effects gas mileage causing the car to run pig rich. How much additional wear does this put on the cylinder walls and rings Travis? Guessing a fair amount as it's washing the lubrication away.

The bottom line is between poor quality from Stillen, things that don't work like the Accessport and grossly over rated items like the Stillen headers, I'm selling the car.

What kind of fun is this when expensive items that are suppose to work...don't.

Refund?? I'll gladly take one and forget about all the dyno time money I spent.
No offense, but your car should not be running that badly, the person who did your tune is to blame not Cobb (unless you went directly to Cobb to have your car tuned).
