Awesome info! Knowing mine & the cars luck I'm probably that one out of 20 cars! lol

Ole' piezoelectric crystal microphone! haha.......I still remember the days of the ear/screwdriver/can on the block techniques!

At least we can sit back, relax and watch gauges now a days!

Appreciate all your advice, you seem extremely knowledgeable on the platform and your tuning speaks for it's self! Can't wait to give your tune a go!

Finally got back to the house, tune is loaded up and ready for a test drive.
Need to get cleaned up and I'll have a good review of the tune for everyone especially just coming off a fully turned up 19.5/23 map. Will be using TunerView and their csv format for datalogging.

One question though. I saw VSA was disabled as the tune comes. Does this make us not have to pedal dance and what will disabling the button in the car do?

Thank you for leaving the codes selection open! Very sweet, don't have to bug you for that P0420 code I need enabled after my downpipe now!

The tune feels great, but it feels like I need to learn first gear all over again.
Seems like no matter how quick or slow with the clutch I am, it bucks the car violently on in first.
Do we still need to take our time with the clutch in first?

I think part of it has to do that I shift at 3500rpm and because of the early spool and other settings, I am already boosting then cutting it out in 1st gear.
Should I shift earlier in the RPM range now in first before I start spooling?

You can do whatever you want with any disable.

VSA is permanently disabled with that map? Not something you can edit in the map before flashing?
I dunno, is that what that setting does?
(I couldn't find anything in KTuners help on it but may just be missing it).
They left the error code selections conpletey unlocked which is awesome!

Just not sure how much is disabled with that setting but you can click it off.

I loaded (2) TSP Stage 1 tunes to one of six slots, one with VSA disabled as it comes, and the other one with VSA enabled just in case I need it

Oh, thanks.... I'll keep a look out for that.
I usually shift between 2500-3500rpm. Mine was pretty "Bucky" as well with the 19/23 turned up until I added my stage one intake or added throttle padding.
Got even worse with the A/C on and part throttle.

I'll be testing the driveability as well.
Pretty hot out now and it'll be cool tonight. Gonna have some pretty good range for testing!

I just have the shift cable bushings so pretty close to a stock shifter.

I am running PRL cobra and I think the tune is locked to the recommended throttle padding either way.
I'll play around more with trying to shift to 2nd without being in boost.
Then I'll play with 3500-4k rpm shift (in boost) and see if I just need to feather out the clutch slower.
Then I'll see if perhaps I am just mashing the gas pedal too hard while shifting in boost from 1-2 lol.

Either way I saw my car hit 25psi :) It's a good feeling. All other gears including 2-3 no bucks and feel great. It's just that 1 to 2 shift lol

I get the feeling some of you guys are spoiled by Honda's soft throttle behavior. :p

Feels like the rear mounts are coming apart when I shift out of first LOL.

This thread is making me want to buy the hondata version of this map to see how it feels.
I did but haven't installed it yet, converting my prl Sri to full cobra cai first and then filling up with shell vpower nitro plus......then uploading
