Big Plans with By Design and Cobb
Starting a new thread
As you all know I have been stagnant with the same set up for awhile so I decided to change things up and I gave Sam a call I am proud to say I am now part of the Sam By Design/Cobb Team. I called Sam up on Tuesday told him what I wanted to accomplish we came up with a plan. Cobb Accessport with stage 3 software on my existing set up, With a Stage 4 ordered and waiting to being installed. Sam/Mitch overnighted the AP I did the install Wednesday night Datalogged on Thursday and Sam went over the logs and sent a custom tune right back for what I was running which at the time was a blend say 97-98. Drove up to Coalinga Friday night burned all my mix in the tank and poured in MS109 and data logged late friday night. Sent that info over to Sam and at 12:03 AM I received back a custom tune.Saturday Morning I installed Tune and went to shift sector.
There were really strong head winds the whole day I checked the weather and 20mph winds were reported all day long see Video I was next in line to race I ran a 164.35 on this run I can guarantee you a couple of mph were lost on this run my best was a 164.47 I ran these speeds both days. My car ran really strong I was running stock P-zeros, ( I would of ran better tires if I had the time to swap them out you see I was planning on not going if I didnt have any changes to my car ) I couldnt use launch control all the extra torque played havoc with the PDK and the P-zeros so I just rolled into It and manually short shifted the first couple gears and it was a ride second gear lit the tires up all the way until I shifted into 3rd felt like a rear wheel drive car man was it fun. Then when the car hooked up it pulled hard.My little mostly stock car still has more in it I received a stronger tune Sunday when I was at the track but had Tech issues with my wifi so I couldnt down load oh well next time
Highlights of the weekend I finally got revenge on the 991 tts PP black car Mousad he did out trap me 164 to 169 but I out drove him and beat him to the finish line. I finally Beat Adam he had his triple 8's on and I got him off the line and pulled all the way on him out ET and out Trapped him. Hes got it on Video he knew I was running strong and turned his inside camera to the front so please post Adam when you get chance so I can have a little glory.
There was also a 991TTS with awe cold air intake, intercoolers, IPD Y pipe and plenum Giac stage 2 plus tune we never ran but when I talked with him on Saturday the best he ran was a 159mph He couldnt believe I ran a 164.
All in all it was a great weekend I really want to thank Sam his customer support is second to none, he was there on the phone or email and or when ever and whatever I needed for the past 6 day 24hrs a day support. I also want to thank Mitch and Cobb Mitch is great he was there for literally 24hr support as well. This is just the beginning great things are just around the corner.

Up date my car is being worked on now with installation of a stage 4 By Design kit. I wil have my car back in a few weeks and will update everyone on how it runs cant wait to rip off some really quick times.. Stay tuned
So pumped Mark! Thanks for working with my schedule to get the car here. We will tear into it on Monday and your fresh Turbo's will arrive just in time Tuesday! Really excited and appreciative for the opportunity bud! We will have quite the team out west now!
Congrats Mark. Looking forward to seeing your beast in action. I was on limp mode @ 12psi when we ran if you remember. I trapped 148.8mph on that run. My day started great when I lined up with a bike and smoked him but got a CEL and PSM failure 2/3 down the track. Still beat the bike to the finish line but the rest of the day I was screwed. Logs showed limp which I couldn't clear. Fueling related which was subsequently addressed but nothing my code-clearer could do. Anyway look forward to seeing how we compare next event when we are both 100% brother.

Tom I was waiting for this since back in October/November when you said it would be released any day now. Let me have Sam look it over and I will get back to you. More importantly is this real and do you have one you could over night?
Thanks Mark

It's definitely real
You got it.
Adam thank man yes I know you were having issues with your car that day, I was just wanting to post about my new mods being installed so I copied and pasted my last post to start a new one. Hopefully we are both running 100% at the next event I just wish we didnt have to wait until October.
