This is actually a bit of a touchy subject, since in some manners PDXTuning and Cobb are competitors. Both companies are well respected, and both are putting out what they believe to be the best balance of safety and performance. When choosing one over the other you should look at all the information available to you, and choose what you like the best.
The simple truth is this: there is no absolute best base map. So long as both maps produce good results and longevity of the motor/car over a broad spectrum of cars, they are both good base maps. Judging that one car made more power than the other does not mean that it has a better base map, nor does it mean that it is less safe. Due to that fact PDXTuning would never compare the power output of our maps to anyone’s map and claim PDXTuning’s map was better.
I hope this helps people understand a bit,
