It's that plus a whole lot more. It basically takes the ultra conservative, almost bland factory Honda tune and transforms it into something much better. You can not only up boost and torque but improve throttle response which makes a big difference. By quickening the turbo spool and ramp rate, power comes on quicker. It totally changes how the car drives. Best of all, when you drive the car normally as a daily driver (at part throttle) mileage will be close to stock. A bit less, but close.
