cobb reflash

What kind of gains can I expect from a stage 2 reflash ? I have a PDE upipe, samco IC hoses, Blitz LM short ram, and a cusco/apex turbo-back. I currently average 13.7's in the quarter with these mods, w/ a best of 13.65. How much power should I expect to gain from the reflash ?

Thanks !

I would go to Cobb's site and do some research and maybe take a look at their forum - The people there know a lot of Cobb-specific info and will be able to help you out. Trey also checks the forum regularly and will be able to answer any questions you have for your specific setup.

islandx is actually running 13.4 now, WITHOUT a boost controller. Can you say 12's on stock turbo?

Take it how you will.

...the 13.49 was on the stockers, removed seats, and 96 octane

Why not, I did a 13.5 and islandx and I have both seen each other at the tracks make our runs..

Oh and 12's is possible with the stock turbo and it has been done. Although the means in which it was done is up in the air. I can think of two that have done it prior to building up their motors. awd1320 and STEALTH-WRX

I've seen the slips for Islandx. I think its the combination of his non power mods and driving skills that actually propel him faster than people with the same mods.

Do you still have your STI killing slip?

Okay guys, here's the deal. I do have a boost gauge, and no my boost is not freakishly high..peaks and holds around 14lbs. I have NEVER altered boost in the form of a MBC, EBC, reflash, etc. My exhaust mods may have altered boost a bit though. Also the 13.49 was never backed up. I did a bunch of low 13.5's that night though
