Pre - Cobb: Yea Baby ride it like I stole it, what you need more revs, let's give it to you..Let's Ride!!

Post - Cobb: What 10 engine knocks, which logs do I need to find where it comes from, google what is normal engine knocks, read 400 posts about engine knocks, do WOT runs to simulate, pickup a bunch of speeding fines, change logs, what a misfire, O **** motor is probably about to blow up, research misfires, pull sparkplugs, regap, put sparkplugs back, change tune to milder tune, **** now I got negative corrections, replace LFP sensor, load stock tune, what knocks increased...rinse repeat


Enjoy the ride!

Given the delays in chip supplies, the chip industry's insistence that auto companies update to more 'modern' chips, the disruption to other parts of supply chains, resulting in launch delays to the S650 and a huge backlog of S550 builds and your experience, it seems likely that there have changes that have been made by Ford, that haven't been communicated to companies like Cobb.
In the meantime there have been pressures on tuners from the US EPA & Ford making their job difficult in the broader market. Cobb seem focused on their Greenspeed concepts for now. I'd like to think Cobb will get there for the 2023 Ecoboost and onto the S650 but the low 2023 S50 production numbers make this likely a low priority for them.
All speculation on my part, obviously/
Starting to sound a bit better now you are aren't accusing me on not knowing what I'm talking about when I'm the one with the '23 who's gone back and forth with Cobb multiple times and had to hear them literally not even seem to know what they were doing while doing so. It went from them not even realizing a '23 Mustang was still an S550, to yeah we'll get that added quickly by the next conversation, and now, after 5 months and a morphed conversation that's changed over time, still not even able to use the Accessport for its gauges yet alone as a tuning device. Obviously its a low priority for them, but as for the Ford tech they are tuning, they've been providing support for the '23 Maverick, a truck not even currently being built, a truck that a lot of people wait a year for once they can order it, a truck who's order banks isn't open again until July 17th, they are providing tuning support for that. And all the while I have a $650 paperweight that is literally useless because I can't even use it to upload a custom tune because someone at Cobb can't be bothered to write some code allowing it talk to my car just because its not a model year past '22. The ECU's are the same. Nothing has changed except the year of the car, and the fact that Cobb didn't even realize the '23 Mustang was being built as an S550. It took a customer to tell them that (me) back in last December 2022. Funny stuff.

I explained it in detail. I can't also understand it for ya too. So don't go away mad, just go away...if you are unable to listen.
You may have well explained it in detail don't mean your explanation is not flawed and in error.

Any way you win have a good day

I didn't realize we were playing a game, but I'll take the win I guess. Since the experience is mine, and facts are on my side...

Yeah, and not to be mean, but it is like the 5th time you've posted most of that... I'm hoping you'll have something new to contribute soon. 🤞🏼

Better get yourself a drink and a snack, its gonna be a while... I've said all I need to, in order to warn other '23 owners what's up and what to expect from Cobb.
