Funny you say that; we're in beta testing stages right now. If you're interested in beta testing, email me.
I will answer number 3 and 4. Your gas mileage will not suffer from map 3. I drive aggressively often. My gas mileage will get to about 26.9 at the very worst. On long commutes I can keep it about 35. I could even do better. As for the shifts, the car still shifts very smooth. It is slightly more rough with rev hang disabled. If you think the car is a little too jerky in stop and go traffic, just enable cruise control (to reactivate rev hang) and the car is back to stock like shifting.Phew....Took two sittings but i read through this entire thread. I initially had a lot of questions but most of them has been answered but I still have a few (don't kill me too bad, lol). I was about to order a Hondata from somewhere (forget where) but I'm glad I took a few days to do some research and came across the Ktuner/TSP Stage 1 tune.
Questions...
1) So I order the Ktuner from: https://twostepperformance.com/ktuner-llc-ktunerflash-v1-2-tuning-package/ and select the TSP Stage 1 (I have a 17 SI) - Does the TSP Stage 1 tune get emailed to me independent of the shipment? If so, I would then load it into the tuner with the Ktuner software on my laptop? Can I use a smartphone instead to do all the work of the laptop? I have a laptop but the battery is dead and I would have to run an extension cord out to the car and it would be more convenient to just be able to use a smartphone since I would be afraid to lose power while flashing without the battery as a backup.
2) To unlock the head unit to install the Ktuner app on the stock head unit, is this the correct website here: http://www.autohack.org/ or is there another official place to get it? Also, I read in some Youtube comments about the Hondahack that it's a high security risk saying that it gives the author of the Hondahack the ability to have a backdoor remotely into your cars head unit, true?
3) Even while using the most aggressive map (#3) if driving easily while commuting will gas mileage suffer a lot or stay relatively the same if not hammering on it? I have a 2hr round trip commute but think this car is such a dog in stock form and would love a little more pep, lol.
4) I read a few comments about shifting not being as smooth as stock? Will the SI with the TSP tune still shift nice for daily driving? Probably will for me since I used to buy the most aggressive motocross bikes for just trail riding, lol.
Sorry for the questions, don't kill me too bad, lol...
For number 1, you need a laptop to register your VIN with the device, and modify any parameters of your map(s). After that, you can use an Adroid device for most of the functions.Phew....Took two sittings but i read through this entire thread.

Wish it turned out as easy for me, took an hour to connect so it would register and lock, then another to flash the ECU & Load Slots 1, 2, 3. Currently Unable to load slots 4 & 5. They will upload but not stay. Tried all the possible permutations over and over, I blame the owner, he makes things so difficult. FInally just flashed the ECU straight with the TSP Stage 1 after failing to load it into Slot 5 just so I could see what it was like...WOOT!!! Waiting to see if I switch to on the fly Slot 1 if the Stage 1 will show up on Slot 5 or just get overwritten....
Hmm... I really can't tell any difference with the shifting to be honest with you and my commute today was 2hrs. Maybe that's because my very first vehicle was a manual 87 F150 that was really rugged compared to modern cars? And the tune definitely doesn't hurt your gas mileage when driving normal:
I think people are having clutch issues despite the tune. However, if you are modding your car with a tune, you will most likely have to change your clutch before 50k. Maybe it will last longer but I honestly doubt it. I went in knowing that sooner than later I would need to replace the clutch.
