Cobb traction control vs Stratified traction control.
- Thread starter A7xogg
- Start date
Stratified has the option to have enabled by default while hardcore enthusiasts got Cobb to keep theirs disabled by default, it has to be enabled on the AP every time the car is restarted... but BOTH take hitting the sport button to override the Ford factory crap... They work on the same exact principal, but the Stratified also is more "refined" with a default setting that is different than Cobb too... Cobb's goes from 1-8, least slip allowed to most, while with Stratified, 1 is default and the regular range is 2-8 with their default 1 setting somewhere between 4-5 on their 2-8 scale... So yeah, for a one time $10 charge, it's worth ordering on the Stratified.

After tracking the car while using it, I think you would only need more finer settings if you were much bigger turbo with aux fuel and not doing straight line stuff. My tuner is off mabye I'll ask him tomorrow to leave if on default 5 and on so I never have to mess with it
wow, you revived an old thread, since then I no longer really run my Stratified tune but I do recall their TC was the same exact method of cobb with their default of 4 being equal to Cobb's 3.5, according to the chart Strat provides. It is said that it can be hard on the clutch and cause misfires from the timing being pulled. It at the very least did a great job of maintaining traction, it can actually help acceleration from a dead stop if you don't have much experience in hooking up with throttle control yourself, I found a setting of 3 with Cobb to be what I prefer, but rarely use it now with much sticker tires that I can control tire spin much easier.
Edit: Found the old photo that shows Stratified settings. Strat's default "optimal" is about 4.25 on their scale and and I have seen most people happiest with Cobb at around 3 to allow some wheelspin before it pulls timing just enough to get traction.

Yes. I believe it's under the adjustments tab where you see RPM limit, FFS, ETC. If you have Stratified and use their TCS I recommend setting 4 maybe 5. Helps traction without feeling too invasive like the OEM TCS that cuts everything the second the wheels spin. Don't have any experience with the Cobb settings, only Stratified.
