I'm debating eventually doing Ktuner stage 1 or 2 but my car is the CVT so i'm still waiting on full data on what's safe, etc. Since I'm not tracking, or trying to race, just want to be a bit zippier on the highway, i'm wondering what the HP difference would be between 1 and 2. I'm definitely a car noob, so reading PSI doesn't really tell me tons.

I've run both Hondata and Ktuner and I have a CVT. I'll tell you this...

Both tuners transform the way our cars perform. Out of the box you will be amazed at the highway passing power.

The nice thing with Ktuner is you can run 3 different boost pressures and switch them at the touch of a button. So, you can run a lower psi daily driver tune and have 2 other more aggressive tunes.

Tuning is the best bang for the buck mod by far. And the base tunes have proven to be safe.

Yeah I did. He had two concerns if you didn't skim his post. He asked about hp of the staged tunes and he was told where to look by dc2turbo. He also implied he was concerned about the safety of tuning a CVT car which I tried to answer in my post.

Maybe it's you that needs to read this topic again?

I mean you still didn't answer his question. All you did was tell him you had both a hondata and Ktuner then go on about how Ktuner has on the fly maps.

But anyway I'm not here to argue, it was just a light hearted comment, wasn't attacking you or anything haha
