Blitz Throttle Control vs. Cobb AP vs. Uprev

It deleted my last text so here we go again...
In short...
I've read good reviews on all of the above. What would be the best Gain/$$ purchase? Just looking for a bit better drivability until i ahve the cash for the supercharger.

Blitz unit?

Used Cobb AP?

Wait and go Uprev + Cipher + purcahse new laptop?

If anyone has experience with any of the above, or all of the above, please chime in.

Edit:
Also, im a 6mt. if it matters...

just go to a shop and get a tune w/ uprev

there is no need and a risk of damaging something if you are trying to use uprev and tune the car yourself unless you know what you are doing.

blitz will only help the throttle. Cobb is marginally helpful. A tune will be the best results, even if you are bone stock

As i understand, the TB doesnt open 100% in 1st gear? Or is that only with the automatic trannies?

Uprev and Cobb both address this along with a remap for a smother powerband as well?

I have never heard anything about that before...

you will get bigger results from a professional tune, but the Cobb is a little bit more "user friendly" in that you can take it with you and track stuff, etc. in real time

What he said is correct. I think someone posted that Cobb was pulling out of the VQ37 market so you will see no further advancement or help from them, and what they have out so far is near worthless. That Blitz thing is a huge negative. It doesn't do anything but reduce peddle travel and your ability "throttle" the pedal. Do a search on it, I've written about it before.

How much is UpRev and is it an ECU reflash tune? Will dealership easily detect it?

I'm getting mine done this weekend Danny. They use the UpRev software and it's $400-$500 depending where you go. And yes, it's an ECU reflash tune

There is also a couple settings that you can set it to "valet" mode which wont allow your car to go over a certain speed or RPM or you can even set it back to the original map so the dealer should not be able to tell.
