Uprev problems?

I think that many people get a CAI and catback exhaust for the brand, looks, and the sound. Some may get them for the the primary reason of performance. The uprev tune really gives nothing worthwhile in return compared with the Hondata Flashpro for instance. Just for reference, here is a video of a Civic Si I/H/E vs a Civic Si I/H/E/Flashpro. Can the uprev do this?

You've made it clear you don't see its worth it, and I respect that.
Not everyone is going to agree on every topic in here? So will leave it at that and move on. Have a Great Day

What's missing right now is the ability to tune VVEL (no system can control that at the moment) -- with that, I think we'll see even better gains out of tuning.

Anyway, completely different platforms, so apples and oranges.

That video proves nothing, show me dyno graphs, were the mods exactly the same minus the flashpro, one drive better than another. The list goes on & on why that video is horrible.

Uprev can do a lot already with the 370z, not sure why lately people have been expecting it to do more. The Z is fairly well tuned from factory, throwing on bolt ons has shown no real need for a tune unless you want to bring your AFR back if it went crazy. Not everything is about HP/TQ.
