Cobb has more than 20 different maps you can use. Its not just stage 1 , stage 2, etc. They do tune conservally so no problems can happen. Ask anyone on nasioc.com who has accesport and they have had no problems with it. I am not saying it's better just a little easier. I agree a custom tune is always the best, but I got accesport for free so I can't complain.
