Tune for stock X50

Is it worth spending money to have a stock X50 tuned? Will there be noticeable gains without adding an exhaust system?

Yes, i will be very noticeable. Get a Cobb AP from Sambo at By Design Auto and he will take care of you. The tune is easy to load and unload if you want.

^^^agreed

But just do an OTS tune for now. Then get a custom mafless tune once you add fender intakes, intercoolers and exhaust.

I have an X50 with exhaust, 1 bar WG actuators, Forge intercoolers and a custom 1.1 bar tune from Sambo Via the Cobb AP. Can't imagine that i need more power, all i could wish for was a little quicker spool. On the track i hold my own with the 600+ hp vetts. While they are managing wheel spin in the lower gears i am pedal to the metal and pulling away, they reel me back in by the end of the straight though.

Wow, sounds like a tune alone will be a lot of bang for the buck. Would 50hp and 50 lb tq be a reasonable expectation?

Of course also all the benefits you get from dialing in a specific car and our awesome MAFless System that people love. I would love to have the opportunity to set you up. We can do forum pricing and you’ll have my full guarantee! Feel free to reach out anytime

I am interested! I have an X50 cab with 23k. While I didn’t buy it to store for sell later I also don’t want to significantly diminish its value. Does the tune impact?

What part of CA are you in? Pls PM me.
