    Anyone know of any professional tuners in NE Ohio. I have checked and don't see any very close.

    Jim did my tune last night. Great guy and the difference is night and day from stock.

    One suggestion for the KDMax guys. You should really consider having all 3 maps available once installed.

    What I mean is...On my 10th Gen Civis Si, I was able to have access to all 3 maps (TSP Stage1) via steering wheel selection. Press and hold the Cruise "Cancel" button for 3 secs, the tach would point to 1000rpm(indicating map#1) then just select which map you want....toggle up to 2(map#2) or 3(map#3). Press and hold the Cancel button again....done! Then we could select the map best for the driving conditions we are planning that day.

    The software developer VF Tuner didn’t have that functionality available for custom tuners to play with at this time. You can have two throttle settings by having “Lite”, “Normal” throttle as your daily driver choice and then ETC set with “Sport” (other tunes have different names) for when you tow or feel wild.

    That's a great idea. So you are saying, If I have the Normal tune installed, the ECT can actuate Sport mode tune?

    I did get Sport installed and it's probably going to be a little "Spicy" when I'm offroad. Going to try it out this weekend.

    Yes, if you choose “Normal” as your throttle choice the ETC button is already set to “Sport” plus a noche or two more. That way you have two throttle settings.
