Ive currently got a Cobra computer in mine and alot of people are telling me to go back to the stock one.
Why would the stock one be better?

ok I appreciate it...everyone is saying the stock one but the cobra one seemed to run better and made the car sound better until i changed the injectors and mass air and messed everything up.

You are going to get a custom tune via a J3 chip, so it really doesn't matter. BUT, if the X3Z is already running better, then it will just be that much easier to dial in with the J3 chip.
Really, the change for putting 30's in an X3Z is VERY simple...
If you are willing to invest some time and money, you could do it yourself...
Here is a link that goes into some of the Ignition Timingdifferences between the A9L and X3Z...

If the X3Z ran better, then stick with that...

The a9 series is the most aggressive period[8D],

Test data? What parameters are you looking at?
I'm always curious of the justification when I see a blanket statement like this...
