I was fortunate enough to be selected for a Hondata Flash Pro beta test. I was encouraged by the Hondata engineers to give my completely unbiased and true impression of the tune.
My car has a thermal catback exhaust and prototype intake. I'm running the stock DP and stock intercooler.
My first reaction on the first drive is how smooth the power delivery came on. The torque increase is immediately noticeable and significant. You don't realize the how smooth the power is until you look at your speedometer. What once felt like 60 is now 80mph.
Prior to the tune, my boost (running 91 octane in CA) was all over the place. On some occasions i'd hit 17-18psi and others (if the conditions were favorable) I would hit 21-22. On the Hondata tune, I'm seeing a very consistent 24-26PSI.
This tune really shines in 3rd,4th, and 5th gear. the pull is amazing. Overtaking cars on the highway is a breeze. I don't know how I'd ever go back to stock. It's just amazing what the guys at Hondata have done with this tune.
I'm sure you're all having the same tough decision I had before being selected for this trial run. Ktuner or Hondata? Well I can't speak for Ktuner, but the team at Hondata has many many tricks up its sleeve. They are spending a ton of R&D to unleash the full potential of this platform. Their enthusiasm and passion for the FK8 is unlike anything I've seen before.
I wish I could spill some beans about the dyno numbers and the features in the works, but you'll just have to be patient for a couple more weeks. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed.
