Do I need Cobb AP?

If I want to leave my car stock, would it be a waste to get the cobb AP?

If you want to leave the car stock it would be a waste to buy any mods. If you bought lowering springs and wanted the car at OE height that would be a waste also.

Am I understanding your question or was it meant to be a joke? I'm not trying to be a ***** but your question is kind of like Chubaka, it just don't make sense.

Translation (I think): If I leave the hard parts on my car stock; can I gain anything by using an access port to fiddle witht he software?

The answer (again I think) is yes. Typically stock maps are more conservative than what the cars can actually do.

sure i think you may get some gains from the cobb ap, but nowhere near what the cobb ap is capable of and a total waste of 700 bucks just to gain a slightly better than stock map.....imo it would be a waste of time/money and sounds kinda stupid..
i agree with mo rex, if you want the car stock, then why the hell would you mod it?
