Hopefully we can get a discussion going here about this because it truly baffles me. First of all, a huge portion of 10th gen Civic owners own CVT's. And while most are probably happy with their cars' power, there still are many like me, looking for better power and drivability.
We have two tuners out there. Hondata offers two base tunes (excluding intake specific) maxing out with the +6 giving us 19-20psi boost. Ktuner has more like 6 tunes available maxing out at 21psi. Now, I know the tunes are tweakable by a tuner but for the purpose of this thread I'm talking out of the box tunes.
The difference it seems to me is that Ktuner offers simple, easy tweaks for the CVT models right out of the box. Improved part throttle response, early spool, quicker ramp rate etc... And those tweaks make the CVT experience better.
So, this is the question. Why does Ktuner feel comfortable giving CVT owners more flexibility and easy tweaks where Hondata is ultra conservative with the CVT? It's an honest and fair question. I own a Flashpro so this isn't me promoting Ktuner. It seems to me both tuners would want to offer owners the safest but also the best driving experience. No?
