but Cobb maps suck ***!! And I don't just mean suck, but they are dangerous. 100% IDC at 5400 RPMs in 3rd gear.
This is a Cali VF-39 map, so it is obviously not meant for long term WOT use. Nevertheless it is good to know, and I thought some of you in similar situations would appreciate the info.
It has me curious about the stage 2 maps....

You know, it has me curious as to what these cars run like with no map at all...
...it doesn't mean I am going to try it though lol. I think it is important to pass on to others that these maps are NOT to be used long term. I don't know what Cobb's intent is, but I see a lot of people online who run basemaps and do not really understand that they are not the end all tuning solution.
Hell, I know a lot of people who do not even understand what tuning is about, or fuel injected cars even work. They think you can just slap on a big turbo, without matched injectors or adjusting anything, and go make big HP. I laugh and tell them they will spend 4+ times the $$ trying to beat my tuned VF-39

Most people are internet educated whne it comes to cars, the internal combustion engine, etc.
You have no idea how much money I make fixing mistakes that the DIYer do to their cars.
Typical conversation:
Them: How much $$$ to upgrade w/ tune.
Me: $$$
Them: **** that...I'll do it myself.
Me: Ok. Please give me call when you need a new motor.
A few days/weeks/months pass.
Them: I blew my motor. How much to fix it?
Me: $$$$$$$$$$$.
Them: OK....can I drop the car off today?
