For those of you who have followed Bruce Chapman's build on his STI, you will probably know that he pruchased a GT-R. He took it to XXTuning and had a remote tune done with Cobb. The results, for nothing more than a tune and keeping everything else stock, are outstanding!. Full Story if anyone is interested.

Wow. he does some good writeups.

Major props to Cobb for the custom tuning service. I wonder what they'll get him from a Stage-II since they got 80hp at the hubs from a Stage-I.

My guess is a stage 2 won't be a significant jump. Even if an intake and exhausts gain another 40whp/lbft. does that really mean much at 512hp/496lbft? So will 552 whp / 536 lbft cut another .1 second off 0-60 or .2 off the 1/4 or add another 4 mph to the trap? I would guess not. Not that you shouldn't try mind you!

at that price point, i don't think the owner cares about shelling out a bit more loot to get a bit more power. chump change.

Probably true. It sounds like we'll know for sure shortly

I only mentioned because Neanderthal indicated in one of his posts that he intends to order the Cobb exhaust anyway.
