Not sure which one to buy, looking to tune the car in the future for that extra bit of horsepower.

How important is being carb legal? Couldnāt I just flash the car back to its stock tune for inspections?KTuner unless you're dead set on being CARB legal, in which case Hondata has a CARB-legal unit that won't let you do much.
Hey. Awesome review. A ?or 2. Iām assuming the +3 & 9 are in reference to increased boost ? And Iām leaning towards Hondata as well. How do you get it set up so that it changes characteristics depending on eco being on or off. Or cruise ?Everyone will likely prefer the unit that they know and own.... which is why I love my Hondata. Even the base +3 tune with rev hang disabled and increased throttle sensitivity makes the car an absolute joy to drive. The increased power is more than enough for daily driving. And then there is the +9 tune which is nuts! Pushing the Econ button drops the boost closer to factory levels but still keeps the throttle sensitivity and rev hang disabled. Finally, turning on the main cruise control switch takes everything back to stock, so basically you have 3 different driving modes depending on your cruise and econ settings. It's pretty nice!
Right now I'm just on the +3, but I'm thinking of running the +9 as the primary tune, a +3 when econ is enabled, and stock when main cruise is enabled. I think that's the ideal set up. You never know when you're gonna need that +9. haha
Iām thinking of ktuner for the screen, is that the only difference? The ktuner has programable modes for the different boosts like the hondata does from what I knowEveryone will likely prefer the unit that they know and own.... which is why I love my Hondata.

I would say we sell on all modern hondas about 50 ktuners to 1 hondata , if you look even at the top 10 fastest Accords they are run Ktuner, might be one guy with Hondata. If you even talk to Derek Robinson at IMW who is one of the best in the business, he will take Ktuner over Hondata anydayThatās just a feature set, not a comparison. Every time I am at the Tuner, all the high horsepower modern Hondas they have their are running Hondata, even Honda and Spoon use Hondata.
From what I see if I do basic mods, K-Tuner appears not canned tune friendly, but for high horsepower custom applications, Hondata seems to be used more.
