I don't have the Cobb Subaru AccessPORT software license, yet.
That might change by then, but it is unlikely since I don't have time to take on another marque at this moment.

Question Car Set up

MM,

How do you suggest we prep our cars. Should would un-install the AP a few days prior in order to get a good baseline dyno run? That brings up another question, are we going to do a baseline run? Would be nice to see where we are prior to AP tuning.

I would like to avoid radiator installs as those can easily be done by two guys in a driveway as well as other similarly simple swaps. I am looking to concentrate on clutches, flywheels, suspensions, brakes, and a few other things this time. I can also do compression/vacuum tests with a really cool tool that charts the compression curve rather than just a simple peak number.
I'll probably wanna do a compression/vac test anyway to see if anything changed within a few weeks of having the install. Can never be too safe

Also, I am getting the flywheel installed if anyone is wondering who is getting what installed.

Well, lets see, I REALLY hate that you always return phone calls/message. I mean who does that? I also hate how you will ship before accepting payment.....I mean come on, thats just UNHEARD of. What performance parts company will give free therapy/ guidance sessions? I'm wondering where you are trying to take your business. PICK OR CHOOSE BHR....You can NOT do both even though you have succeeded thus far. Also, as far as P Autowerks goes. DONT EVER give such detailed instructions about how to do something when you're not getting anything out of it. Leave that to the ones getting paid. You're just wasting your time. Performance HATES you for your intelligence!

O man.....haha that pretty much sums it up. Hopefully everyone see the humor

That's 1/4 the price of having the dealer do it and you actually get meaningful results instead of just some averaged numbers.

Each rotor produces a chart like this one that we can analyze for a variety of engine conditions:
