Def will keep following this thread, great info OP and thanks for being the first to post this for your fellow tsx owners. I guess now its time for me to finally take the plunge and get that reflash for 06 AT, this thread got my modding juices flowing again.

No updates, I've been harassed a bit by the moderators for "advertising", so I will probably not be permitted to post much about this topic.
On a side note, Hondata sent me a reflashed ecu to add to the the comparison, so I need to put the car back on the dyno and compare the stock ecu to the reflashed ecu, to the K-Pro'd ecu. I should have this done by next week, time permitting..

I tried for more cam advance, and it wouldn't go any farther.. I'm sure its just a manufacturing tolerance, as on my other K24a2 in my 99 Integra, I was able to get 27 degrees of advance..
Doug at Hondata provided me with a map from his car, which had many more modifications to it, and required a retune to work properly with my stock TSX to provide proper fueling and ignition timing.. It was a starting point to make the car driveable, but was far from ideal for my application. The intent of this tuning was to provide a good basemap for future TSX owners who purchase the K-Pro. Hondata will be supplying this calibration with the software (as far as I understand it).

locash,
From your post above, I assume that "tsx-04-05 stock.kal" is your calibration for stock map? which means the knockings are eliminated correct? I am trying to figure out which calibration I should load for stock setting before I start detail tuned the car for my application. Thanks!

Note: Moderators, this is not a for sale post, it is merely informational. 
Update: Did another baseline today, installed the K-Pro, and created a basemap for my stock 05 TSX for Hondata to provide with the system.. You can see the before and after gains, all same day, same dyno, no need to try and figure out the difference between billy bob's dynojet and someone else's Dynapack, you can see the gains had with nothing more than an ecu change and tuning.. At least 20hp and 20ft/lbs at 6000 rpm!
If I had a Hondata reflashed ecu, I could have compared that too, but alas, I didn't have one.. The gains are probably similiar to the reflash, but with the ability to tune it more with each modification.. 
Also, my stock VTC allowed 29 degrees of advance according to the K-Pro datalogging.(normally the TSX ecu only allows 20 degrees, and the TSX VTC was said to allow 25 or so). Maybe I'll do more tuning if I can borrow some bolt ons, otherwise I'll get back to work on the turbo kit..
Stock ecu (dotted line) vs. Locash Racing tuned K-Pro (solid line):
