Got better 60-120 time with stock tune than the ktuner stage 2.

[mazin98]

Hi there, I'm experiencing an issue with my tuning results with my 2021 Honda Accord 2.0t and could use some help. Despite using the KTuner Stage 2 tune, I'm getting better performance with the stock tune. Specifically, I'm seeing a 60-120 mph time of 16.2 seconds with the stock tune, compared to 20.4 seconds with the KTuner Stage 2 tune—a significant difference.

Here is what I use.
Fuel: 91 octane
Quick adjustments: All settings at max
Early spool: Enabled

I'm not sure why this is happening and would appreciate any insights or suggestions you might have.

Thank you!

Look at your knock control. Beyond that I have no suggestions for you. There's a clear power difference with stage 2.

After A few 3-4 WOT pulls the knock control reaches around 1.00 Is that bad?

That's not normal. That suggests your fuel quality isn't great or there's something else going on to cause knock control to pull timing.
