Hey guys... I tried posting this on the mustangecoboost.net forum but... that for some reason has sat "under review"...
I scooped a Cobb V3 up unmarried locally for a pretty good deal I couldn't pass up, but its also the first "tuner" i've ever had. But i'm not entirely sure of what I should be doing. My car is a daily driver with some bolt ons... CVF race intercooler, Roush intake, MBRP race exhaust, UPR dvcc...
I did update the lowside pressure sensor ( BU5Z-9F972-B ), and purge valve. It's a 50,000 mile car, and i'm just trying to take care and fun a little fun down the line.
Not sure what stage OTS tune I should be for the meantime until I can contact TunePlus or something... read/assume Stage 1 was safest, not sure of the difference of 91/93... I do know its fuel octane... so I flashed 93 first drove a bit, crazy difference from stock... but then tried the 91, it felt less "spikey" if that makes sense but I prefer conservative as I don't drive the car harshly although I do only put premium gas into it... Granted I do get "spirited" sometimes and I also give a damn about MPG's because it keeps me in check. I'm just not sure and I am far more concerned of not showing a rod what Florida in 2020 looks like with the 'Rona n' stuff.... it needs to stay where it has since 2016.
With that out of the way, some more questions!
How do you guys have the AP mounted and what did you do with the cable to keep it hidden but reasonable to unplug after driving?
Is there any settings I should be truly aware of? I see there's traction control there and i've only moved that to 1 on the current flash as i've read here on 6G that it helped in some way.
Is there any particular gauge settings on the Cobb I should have on the screen of this thing that I truly should be eyeballing? And if so, what is the normal peace of mind numbers of those?
I hope this isn't overly complicated, i'm just looking for some education on it... as I don't know anything at all, i'm sort of dumb, and it's all just a wild guess and likely over thinking simplicity. I would search more, but I don't know what i'm entirely searching for.
Thanks dudes.
