not enough kick point.....imo.....
Believe it or not VTEC isn't there for the sound or feel. It's not for a kick point, it's for the best and smoothest power delivery between the two cam profiles. Lower than that produces a hole in power, higher than that produces a hole in power.

It is that form of VTEC, where the cam profiles change, but at the optimal points it makes smooth power. You can still clearly hear the switch over!

Ahh VTEC without a doubt one of the most reliable variable valve timing implementations. Simple, effective. Only from the great H. Remarkable system.

I say this as owner of a car with BMW VANOS hydraulic actuators that are failing the V8 engine at 150k kms and are making the car sound like a tractor and whose previous VTEC motor made it to 200k without complaints.

yeah curious how it affects fuel econ
Ive been running the tune for a couple months now and my fuel economy has stayed pretty much the same. The only think that would really hurt your fuel economy is driving the car a little more agressively because the tune makes you want to do that. I certainly wouldn't about taking a hit to fuel econ because of this tune.

Any chance for us getting Throttle Responsiveness Level 3? =D
Is quick adjustments out for this tune? I have a 2018 and I can't find anything to change throttle response in the Ktuner menu.
