GIAC vs Cobb - same car same day
#46
Score one for Cobb and I haven't even run yet today.
I think some rain got into my fuel barrel and so when I pumped it into the tank I got water in there.
This created misfires which threw the check engine light.
I got clean fuel in there and drove 20 miles to clean everything out and it was running great again but still the check engine light which obviously messes with the engine.
Plugged in the AP and without even installing it I was able to reset the ECU and clear all the codes and the check engine.
Without it I would have been sunk for today's runs.

Should start running within the hour and then I'm about 2 hours in line. So probably 4pm CDT for my first run today with GIAC.
Then get back in line and install the AP. Hopefully a lot of guys will only do one run today and then bail to get home so the second runs will come much quicker.

Made my first run with GIAC Stage 2+ at 188.7mph. It's a little cold so did get wheel spin in second and had to lift off for a second. I'm sure that impacted the final speed slightly.
Unfortunately they don't have the half mile trap working so no half mile speed today.
Installing AP right now with Stage 3 100 octane and will make another run in about 1.5 hours I'm guessing.

Again, be safe. Those are some crazy speeds

Be careful. Wish I was doing it too.

Only for that COBB is better than giac... But hey, what do I know
Do you ever run with COBB tune?

Cobb Stage 3 100 octane ran 190.7. Then I sent logs to Mitch and got a custom tune and ran 190.3. The tail wind had died down some so that could have contributed.
However, after installing the AP I realized that my earlier 188.7 on GIAC was actually on the pump gas tune. I had switched over after adding some pump gas during the CEL issue and forgotten to switch back after I filled up with race gas. I don't know how much the race gas tune would have added.
So what have I determined in the Cobb vs GIAC battle? A whole lot of nothing IMO.
Cobb ran faster, yes. But honestly I was expecting it to run at least 4-5mph faster if the incredible torque/HP dyno numbers are to be believed. Especially against what turned out to be the GIAC pump gas tune.
However, I do have Vbox data for all my runs. I will review that later this week and post an update. There may be more conclusive data in there than just the 1 mile trap speed can provide.
I still do like the AP feature of ECU clearing and custom logging and tunes without having to go into a shop.

And I agree having the AP saves so much time and hassle not having to go to the dealer for every little thing. Think about it, your entire event was saved by the AP!
