Any positives to the Perrin Map versus the Cobb. Freeman said that the mid-rpm pull was stronger with the Cobb map. Does the Perrin map have any benefits over the Cobb?

I live in the mountains at 6,500 ft. and drive above 8,000 ft. every day for work. I am running stage 2 91 oct. and have also driven up Mount Evans in CO to 14,127 ft.
How did the car run that high above sea level,with your current mapping??????

i think higher overall power gains at higher rpm's and limit pushed to7K ... is what I gathered

Just installed the cobb acn 91 oct stage 1 map. Gotta say it feels pretty good. Smoother and definitely more power down low than stock. I was running the boost gauge on the AP and noticed it was bouncing off of 17psi before coming back down to ~16. That ok? FYI, I'm at ~4-5k ft elevation.

Have you tried Perrin map for the same gas?

I've bugged Jeff about this a bunch of times... the last only maybe two weeks ago, and the answer is always the same. No 91 map yet (despite what their site says) but maybe "next week."

I have a dyno appt next week with 3 pulls and was considering running stock, cobb, perrin..but i think the top mount will be way to heat soaked by the 3rd pull to show a valid argument

Yes. That is a minor boost spike.

Yeah I've been running the Cobb stage 1 ACN for 400 miles now and makes the shifting so much smoother, the engine doesn't bog down so much in between shifts...

oh yeah my MPG is exactly the same even though I've been really testing the car out with this new map

The download was linked to Cobb website.

Perrin Stage 1 93 Octane map is tuned using 92 Octane gas, so you can use 92,or 93 with that map.
