COBB tuning Raptor tune

[NE Raptor]

I ordered one and had a tracking # in a couple hours. You can sign for it on UPS website so they will leave it which is a nice convenience. Should have it installed tomorrow if all goes well, I'll post up some initial results. Cant wait!!!

The ap we are getting can download TCM programs when they get released. Hopefully they hook us up.

They already said that it's not included.

The 93 octane tune is running great for me. Huge power increase, but the power delivery still feels smoother than stock, just like the 87 octane tune. It's only 25 degrees here, so that helps. I might dial it back to the 91 octane tune in the summer. Someone asked about fuel mileage and I'm getting my worst mpg ever today, 12.2mpg vs 14-15mpg before. But I don't necessarily blame the tune since I'm being a leadfoot today. As for the intake sound, I'm not sure I'll ever notice it over the increased exhaust noise. I have a Borla S-type installed and it's just screaming now.

I expected a bit more excitement around the power gain feeling (93 tune) Is it rather noticeable? Was your truck tuned prior to Cobb and you notice the smooth better than anything?

Mine arrives tomorrow. I am dropping my truck off at the dealer in the am to complete the recall I really don’t want done... TCM update and any PCM update that might be out there. (My shifting is pretty rough in sport mode going into 2 different shifts most of the time. ) and peek for IWE issue as a few random times I hear a noise from the front driver side wheel that sounded as if I ran over a cup or something. Thought it’s best to be all current and get any warranty work handled now and tune it when I get back home.

Excited but afraid I might be a little... “meehhh”

^ Yes. I had a Burger JB4 piggyback tune on before this, so maybe I'm not as overwhelmed by the power increase. Or maybe I should say I'm more impressed by the smooth power delivery. Also, one of my other cars is a 911 turbo. Lol. In any case, I'm completely happy with the tune so far.

Edit: Just noticed the 997tt in your screen name. I've got a 991 turbo cabriolet.

Lol yes my other vehicle! It’s an 08 997tt. Tastefully modded. Its also why I feel silly tuning this truck to be “fast” anyways... but I just can’t help myself nor can I ever leave well enough alone either

I speak with a lot of experience on the Raptor platform and tuning. The reality is that without transmission tuning, a lot of the extra power gets lost in the slop.

If you line up next to a bone stock Raptor, I guarantee your tune will see you leave it behind by a few lengths down a stretch. It’s just hard to get everything out of it.

You’ll get more satisfaction out of your tune in tow mode. Try it. You’ll see.

^ Never heard of using tow mode to increase performance. In fact, I had kind of forgot there was a tow mode. Maybe I'll give it a try. It also doesn't help that I'm driving on winter roads. You can definitely feel it when the traction control finally kicks in.

What does putting it in tow mode do that would make the difference?

I'd imagine it locks up the converter to get more power to the ground? Or at least makes it slip less. The cummins guys used to do this when the torque got too high and they couldn't afford a better tranny lol.
