Best tune for stock car?

My experience with ECU flashes is limited to COBB for WRX. It was a simple procedure that netted me 20HP+ on a stock car, and lasted for many years. That's all I'm looking for. I won't be doing IC, intake, or exhaust upgrades. Just want a little more pep with a some data displays/logging. Also, would love to get rid of/reduce rev hang and improve throttle response. What would you recommend?

ETA: 2017 model.

Can't recommend Stratified enough. For the price of a new AP you get their tune, which is far better than the OTS Cobb tune.

I just did Cobb stage 1 (v400) yesterday and I was blown away the night and day difference, I got a good price off a memeber on here so I jumped on it, I heard stratified is even better, if your buying new go startified, will be the best money you spend

On a stock car? Possibly just the spark-based Traction Control (works surprisingly well). It's more about what you want from it. Do you have a long commute and need better mileage? Get an eco slot. Do you use valet quite a bit? Get a valet slot. Does the shift light annoy you? Disable it.

Just wanted to confirm. I can switch to a different tune using the same AccessPort, right? Say, I get Stratified and install it. If I want to install Cobb OTS tune, I download it, load it to the AP, flash my ECU.
Also, all of the mods I'm finding online mention 2016 model year but none 2017. Cobb AP, for example, says 2014-2016. 2017 is the same as 2016, correct?

Yes, you will be able to use Stratified and Cobb OTS tunes when purchasing from Stratified.

As for 2017, I'm not entirely positive. I would imagine it will be the same as 2016, but haven't heard for sure.

No support for 2017 from Cobb, yet. Supposedly, they're promising to release an update that provides compatibility in a month or so.

Maybe you need to work with the tuner you have, first. I think Stratified offers that. Send them your data, and they can change it for your car.

Mountune offers that, too, but try talking to Stratified first. I've read that they're very helpful.

Yes, I would do that first, but I´m looking for another option in case stratified can´t help me, I´m thinking in Dizzy or JST.

Your whp numbers are just fine for stock turbo. Your torque numbers are definitely on the low end from what I have seen. What fuel is your tune made for? Dizzy is very popular.

IF that's A BIG IF they answer they're phone or answer their EMAILS in an orderly fashion. They Get BUSY and forget about people who they have an obligation with and don't care to honor their word. So I went with Jason @ Dizzy instead...Best decision I have made tune wise. He will also be doing my Aux fuel tuning when it gets installed. Always punctual with his emails and answers questions thoroughly. Hit up Dizzy tuning as he hasn't become to big for his britches and customer service is on point! [driving]

How is the lead time if you buy a Cobb Accessport (with Stratified Tune) from Stratified- I ask since they are in Canada. Would it be better to buy a Cobb AP locally in the states and just get the down loaded Stratified tune after?
