Thoughts around the difference between MPT and Cobb? Looks like you can get MPT with no additional components required, such as CAI, intercooler, etc, but Cobb will potentially have the components as a part of their package? Or different stages for Cobb?

I understand you can get different performance parts on your truck and then have MPT revise your tune to account for the modified parts, but what is unclear to me is the final output differences between the platforms. I know not all Cobb's info has been released, but just trying to understand why some tunes come with aftermarket parts, and some do not.

Am I wrong in that you can spend ~$900 with MPT and get their advertised results on a stock truck? Versus spending ~$2000 with Whipple or, speculating here, the same with Cobb, and get similar results with their tune and the additional aftermarket parts?

Just trying to learn here!

I am not an expert, but when I looked into Cobb when driving my Macan GTS, there were several stock tunes that just played with fuel and boost and did pretty amazing things. I suspect they will do the same thing here, and then if you go to some performance enhancing parts like CAI etc, you can change the tune to accommodate and increase performance.

Its all speculation of course, but the mustang cobb accessport is 550 bucks or so, cable another 70, and I think that's all you need. Might be slightly more depending on the tunes they include.

I am waiting to see how this Cobb tune looks and some reviews of it before I drop any money on any of these things, but I am going to do one for sure.

IMO and based on my experience with Cobb and Mountune, you will be able to purchase a Cobb Accessport with a canned tune already loaded for $550-$600. Additionally, Cobb will offer a number of packages that will include other items such as CAI, Intercooler, BOV, etc. These packages (which will include the accessport) will be priced from $1k-$4k. If you order the package deals, Cobb will adjust the canned tune accordingly at the time of purchase based on the items you got such as an intercooler. I'm also guessing they will offer a price option for those that wish to datalog for specific tunes and they may even include a 90 day window with the price of the accessport. I do know one thing for sure; Cobb has an outstanding reputation and it will be worth the wait.

Great info, took words right out of my mouth!

I had my GT-R tuned with Cobb for a few years before switching to Ecutek, both amazing I might add.

I suspect Cobb will do as always having canned tunes available for different stages that will account for popular modifications and fuels...this allows users to not have to use Cobb hard parts and opens the door to those that may already have non-Cobb parts to make a switch. The canned tunes will be safe still leaving power on the table for pro tuners to custom tune for the most power available.

I reached out to Cobb’s Tim Bailey who I worked with for my GT-R. He couldn’t tell me a whole lot except he was very excited about what Cobb has come up with, made a comment that it will be much cheaper to get into Cobb for a Raptor than my GT-R which was around $1500.00 for those wondering, and at that time thought it would be released before the new year. Looks like the release was pushed back but I’m very excited regardless!!
