Just so many things about an off shelf tune that may or may not “line up” with the setup on your car. Some wear by them, others(like myself) try to steer people towards a more suitable tune. Then in the same breath though, an “ok” of the shelf tune is still better than a shitty custom tune so it’s all a per setup thing. Not knocking you or your car.

I bought mine through Perrin which is very good about even tweaking OTS maps _if_ you do have an issue with the way it works (which I will have the option of using either map, Perrin or Cobb).

A protune/dynotune/customtune would be ideal, however returning those to stock without the use of an AP isnt easy, plus the hassle of locating an AWD dyno around here is a little drive, I think Moon Performance in Lake Placid is the closest to me. Piston rings like to crack in the GR’s and I have been on the shitty stock OEM tune for 35K+ miles, its even the original tune before the recall that was supposed to address it, so anything has to be better. :lol What year is your WRX? ---
