Ecu tuning.

If you go with AP, you will want to find a copy of Abilor's Tooning Guide for Noods (cannot give the link here), outstanding writeup to get you started. There are a few things that have changed in the Cobb ATR/AP system but there is alot of good info concerning tuning on other forums.
Cobbs OTS maps are close but every car responds differently, the small tweaks of map modification (thru ATR software) will make a difference.
Make sure you put your modifications on in a logical order.

hypertech is just a tuner, you cannot adjust it at all. If you get any more than an intake with the hypertech, you risk running lean, running fuel pressures too low, etc.
The fuel supply issue is the same with the Hypertech tune, as the stock tune, or any other tunes out there for the Gen II cars.
Some Gen II Mazdaspeed 3 owners have experienced issues with fuel pump capacity when adding bolt-on performance modifications. On our test car, we experienced the same issue only when running the Hypertech tuning with a catless downpipe and racepipe. With the factory catalyst in place, this did not occur. We installed an upgraded fuel pump internal kit on our car, and the fuel pressure issue went away. But this issue doesn’t necessarily happen on all 2010-2011 cars with our tune and exhaust mods. Several of our beta testers have catless downpipes and racepipes, along with intake and cat-backs, and haven’t experienced any issues with the fuel pressure dropping. We suspect there are some production variances within these cars that some will experience this issue, and others won’t.
While this is not an ideal situation for performance, the factory ECU has a built-in protection system that reduces the power when it detects that the fuel pressure drops below safe levels. You should be able to feel this happening, because when the ECU detects the reduction in fuel rail pressure, it reduces power by closing the throttle blade.
Yes, the Hypertech tune is not end user adjustable. There's no need to "adjust" it yourself. It is already set up to adjust the fueling and spark appropriately for any bolt-on mods. This is totally different from the other tunes out there for these cars.

AP.. at least you will know what is going on with car unlike with the HT out of the box. Still have to find something to watch that FP especially as it gets colder since most of the people that experienced said fuel cut issues happened more when in colder climates. Not to mention other PIDs to watch like A/F, KR, etc.
I Personally have tuned mustangs and lightnings with SCT tuners and Diablo tuners, personally i would go with the Cobb AP because 1.more tuning options, 2. more maps 3. No bugs 4. great gains 5. ease of use and the reputation cobb has with tuning cars.
im not gonna say the hypertech is bad but it seems like more of a youth tuner and for $500 i say no way, im gonna spend the exta 100 on a cobb.
sry hypertech but if u want to compete with Cobb u better let us have more options and drop your prices lower. Thats my two cents.
