COBB Stage 2 Power Package

Does anyone know if the figures that cobb put on their site (0-60 in 4.6 and 1/4 in 13.4) is actaully correct? seems like an awfully big increase in speed merely by a turbo-back and accessport.

Link to the package ---> http://cobbtuning.com/wrx/power-s.html#stage2

it's as correct as can be, I ran a 13.2, with stage 2 and an up-pipe with a 1.9 60ft time.

hmm, makes me consider my decision on buying a used 04 STi or maybe a an older WRX and using the difference to upgrade power and suspension.... but then again the STi is just as compatable (plus all the extra goodies) for around the same price overall and is stock. Would u happen to know the increase for the numbers on the STi with the cobb Stage 2?

...there's one thing alot of people neglect to thing about when it comes to the accessport; by this i mean that Cobb is in utah @ high altitude. That means that the same tune in utah is a little more conservative down at lower altitudes...meaning you don't have to worry about things getting too crazy. It's gr8 for people that don't wannna go too nutz but still want power. COBB gets my vote...i noticed a complete difference! (Funny because after ap was installed, the car runs better. maybe soa should take some hints.)

well cobb stage 2 is the TBE and the accessport.. but that does sount like a pretty nice time. I get where ur going with that u-4-ick, but by what i'd assume (but i dont know much) if anything it would run even better at a lower altitude since your car wont have to work as hard to pull oxygen into your car. This was just my understanding from watching some videos where often times the cars are affected and are slowed down more at higher altitudes. Im sure your most likely right tho.

...exactly; higher altitudes=less dense air. If anyone here has ever driven in reno in a wrx you know what i mean. I drove an 04 wrx around reno for the day and you don't go anywhere unless you are revving to 4k. Fun for a while and good for a laugh...but i'd be pissed if i had to deal with that everyday.
