21 TLX Base with Ktuner

I have a base, non-awd, 21 and flashed the Phearable Stage 3 tune with a Ktuner. What a difference! Running Sunoco 93 octane my k control numbers are typically in the .20-.30 range so no issues with knock. Using the TunerView app I did a 0-60 run and got 5.73 seconds and that was not even at full throttle. My tires slipped when I took off so I backed off the throttle a bit. I bet I would be in the 5.5 range if I just gave it 100% throttle and kept it there. This was also without any brake torque at the start - just stopped with the engine idling then mashing the throttle.

I bought the car in March with only 15,000 miles. Really enjoying it so far.

Good to hear its working out for you. Do you have a picture of the TLX. Have you done any other modding. The base is a good platform.

I have a similar setup in my 21 A-Spec FWD, plus PRL I/C and intake. Launching it definitely requires some diligence and better rubber than the stock Turanzas. (The DWS-06s improve traction and handling dramatically.)

I'm just going to upgrade to Type S Brembos once I return from Europe, after which I'll probably get the RV6 DP. Still mulling over whether or not I should get the Functionwerk cutback.

Awesome! Just did the same tune on my RDX but my K.con lives in the 0.40s. Sometimes I see 0.32 but never any lower.
