Explain Cobb AP Stages for Tuning Newbie

Trying to determine the differences between stage 1 and stage 2...and of course, all of the substages within each. I assume a stage 2 tune would produce more performance than stage 1. But then there are several substages within each that I don't quite understand. Overall, I just want to know what tune I can safely run to get about 100 WHP given the following bolt-ons: tune, upgraged FMIC, catless DPs, and an upgraded oil cooler to be safer in the FL heat. I have the stock intake and exhaust which not likely change at anytime. Also, FL has 93 octane gas everywhere and I use it every time.

Can you please enlighten this newb?

Didn't see it on the web site until now. Somehow I missed it before. Too bad they don't have figures for the stage 1 aggressive with FMIC listed.

That will easily surpass the 100 hp you are looking for though...

For all the guys that are too lazy to click on the link

stage 1 -> stock car
stage 1+ -> stock + FMIC
stage 2 -> catless DP ( DCI is suggested but not mandatory)
stage 2+ -> catless DP + FMIC + DCI
E30 map -> Catless downpipes + intake + FMIC + e30 mix
race maps -> catless downpipes + intake + FMIC + 100% race gas or e65 mix

you can select drive, sport or aggressive depending on how aggressive you would like the map to be.

stock throttle map gives you the same throttle response of the stock car (40% pedal is 80% throttle)
linear throttle gives you a 1/1 ration between pedal and throttle ( 40% pedal is 40% throttle)
