No, a stock car doesn't have switchable maps. But you can get your tuner to put on multiple maps on your car. It might be the cruise control switch, I have never used it, just talked about it with some guys at a shop one day after they tuned my car up in NC. I thought they said that I could do it with my S-AWC switch but I could be wrong.

Good answer.

hey guys. I encountered another problem. Please see if you know what might have caused this.

I got the Cobb AP and downloaded the stage 2 map. Stock Intake and Turbo back exhaust. Car runs smoother and I got rid of the early RPM jerking feel..

However, when I go WOT, the RPM starts acting weird at 6000rpm. It looks like it's not getting to 7000. I can see the RPM arrow fluctuate up and down around 6000 - 6500.. then the car's warning sign goes on and ASC turns off. The car display the no traction yellow warning. I have to restart the car for it go to away. This happens on WOT only. When i slowly hit the gas, RPM is very smooth while shifting at red line. But when I floor it, RPM doesn't seem to hit 7000..

A friend suggested I should change my 5 years old spark plugs. Any other recommendations? Anything I can Data Log on the Cobb to monitor this?

thank you

Not sure if that will solve your issue but I would recommend doing that anyways

Over-boosting and/or hose to FPR came off.

what would you recommend? Kind of scared to drive it if it's over boosting.

I'm running the Normal Wastegate Stage2 91 Octane. Just realized I really should use the Stage2 ACN91 Octane since I'm running on Cali gas.

should I switch to the Low Wastegate - For vehicles exceeding target boost? Or should I get a pro tune to solve this issue?

Check to see if the hose to FPR is still there. Zip-tie, if it isn't already. And start reading up on over-boosting with Cobb Stage 2 and an exhaust that flows too well. I found about 10 threads on it.
