Thank you. Is the Access Port like a power programmer? How does it work?

i guess you can say its power programmer~ the access port is offered by cobb and can also be bought from perrin. it changes the stock tuning maps of the factory which are basically crap. when i had my car in stock tune, i felt hesitations and stuttering. the new programs smoothed out the hesitations while increasing tq and hp in your powerband. it is fairly easy to install and works by plugging into the obdII plug under your drivers dash.
