Decided on my Tune: Cobb

First off thanks to all the tuners that responded in that thread I posted a while back. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to talk about your tunes and what you all bring. I know a number of you thought I was throwing rocks at certain guys. Well I was asking them point blank about some issues possible with a tune. As most of you know, the FPR hose can blow off causing a catastrophic failure. Having rebuilt a couple of BMW engines after adding a blower I was a little concerned, first one the RRFPR blew and I lost the whole exhaust along with the engine.

Anyways Cobb Tuning posted a thread on this a while back and In talking to Mitch I was again told to check that out. I was baffled that so few of the board knew what happens when you mess with A/F ratios, especially from respected builders. All of the tuners that I talked too were aware and warned me about it when asked. Mitch and others have gone out of their way to let guys know this. Once the A/F leans out on you, there is no saving the car, you now bought yourself a new engine.

I ended up going with a Cobb Tune from Sambo By design. The Customer service from Sam was really above and beyond. I swear he about drove it to my house then checked on things to make sure I was happy. I would recommend him to anyone looking for any Porsche products.

Got the product and wanted to change some tunes up and being gone a lot I figured I would shoot Mitch an Email on the weekend thinking he would get it on Monday and I would have the file by the following Friday when I was back in town....
Well within about 2 min I get an email with the file!!!! Had a few issues getting the file installed, I might have copied a number down wrong. Well Mitch was patient and responded multiple times on the weekend even though I told him to enjoy the weekend and I could wait.


Its people like this that I was used too in the communities I am in. They truly embody what the spirit of the forum concept and what you want from a tuner and Speed shop.

Really appreciate the service from you Sam, and thanks for bending over Backwards for me Mitch.
