I meant to say Stage 1 tune without ESC installed. ESC tune with ESC installed but not armed feels slower to me than Stage 1 tune.
Maybe I'm wrong but the car feels flat with no significant increase in hp/tq around 4000-500 rpm. As I recall... stock, the car felt almost like a Prelude VTEC at 5000 rpm... and with Stage 1 tune (without ESC installed), that feeling of a little bit of boost happened closer to 4000 rpm.
I didn't feel much of either with the ESC installed but unarmed. Now that wouldn't necessarily mean it was less powerful overall, but the tune feels more "flat" if that makes any sense.
I'm open to correction/clarification.
I don't recall seeing a clear/detailed explanation of how drag reduction works and how the ESC kit turns it off. If someone would like to chime in, I'd appreciate it.
Would the fact that drag reduction is off be the reason for the apparently increased gas mileage?
