Mid range is always important, you should now this being a turbo guy

Ill be honest I used think this too, but I was new I didn't know much.
Tuners love people like you. $600 bucks per a pop just cos you have shelled out few bucks for a different exhaust or intake. $600/30minutes worth of work nice.
Sure you can look at it as its a mod your gonna have to do anyway, but its paying for the car tuned over and over again, by the end of the build a good amount will
have been paid to your turner who's gonna be laughing all the to the bank. Do it once do it right.
Oh I know how important mid range is, but when I buy a Honda. I buy a Honda for its screaming top end.
Like I have pointed it out in the past. Very responsive, quick reving engine matched to a short ratio box in a light chassis. You worried about making 60HP, one second quicker at a cost of nearly $2000?
Very good gain this. Tell me where to line up to have my wallet raped pls.
Like benny said, its only gonna be for butt dyno feels. No real gain that matters.

just for you ben look at that mid range
I will back ben up on this. Stock Honda Engine with IHE, ECU + Tune is not the next move.
Its braking and handling.
facepalm
Na mate cost of Kpro and turner time is not worth still just with I/H/E
I'd still wait till I have enough for atleast springs and cams.
Cos whats that... $1200 cams and springs $500ish.
Will net a much better peak is what we all really are chasing when we tune. Unless your gonna be left with asking for more.
I should also note, this sort of improvement will been seen across any stock ecu being tuned, cos manufactures are conservative in their tunes.
Lol op
Several people have already explained this to you, including the guy who tuned your car lol...

Tune is well worth it imo. over 20kw gain in the midrange, id like to see cams give you better gains than that without going high comp pistons.
and theres no difference in paying 1k for an ecu now or later, youre still going to spend money on it. the only difference is paying for another tune down the track if you decide to do internals but whats another $500 1 year later.
OP, you still havent revealed what header and intake you actually have....also dont compare qld dyno figures to nsw, we like to leave the air temp sensor on the wall rather than in the hot engine bay
Killa's correct solid midrange gain of almost 25% where most of ur time is spent. Dyno graphs are like silicon ****, they look great but dont reveal the true performance. Ive seen a 6kw diff just from diff profile rubber/camber and hotter temps. :cool:
