Easy, ecu tune is by far better. The Cobb tune is an off the shelf flash designed to meet the needs of many cars, they leave a lot of leeway for safety. Its a liability thing. Ecu tune by a reputable person will be tailored to your exact setup. They will be able to push the limits a little more because they can monitor how your car reacts under any given situation. 2c

Exactly Bang on the Money! Every car will be a little different as in mods, fuel used temperature and elavation in the area you drive. Having a Local shop if possible do the tune to the fuel you use and the exact mods on your cars will produce the best results versus a generic out of the can flash. The choice is obvious!

I think you guys may not have all the info. I own an AP, and yes you can use the OTS maps if you want, but, if you download access tuner for free from the website, you can make your own tunes. You can also have any tuner, make a tune using the logs and access tuner, Mellon, Ivey, HBspeed, and email you the tune for your AP. You can get a protune done at a Cobb protuner. You can reflash and uninstall whenever you want and you can monitor all your engine sensors, boost pressure, abs, stft, etc. The AP is a great tuning platform if you know whats available to you and utilize it.

That may be so, but first you have to start with a $600 AccessPort, then pay for your local shop to tune it $3-500 give or take. As apposed to a good tune local shop $3-500 + $50 boost gauge, ta dah, all you really need to know. Because really, obsessively monitoring your car is not good for your overall well being. I'm not that good at math, but the AP just doesn't seem like that good of a deal. 1c

if you are really knowledge-able with using AP it will be good tool.
for the rest of us that doesnt know what we're doing with the AP it will be a waste of money.
