Notes
Why Choose TuneZilla?
At TuneZilla, we strive for an OEM level of drivability and reliability. Our team of calibrators from around the world painstakingly work to deliver repeatable performance on all of our base maps.
One of the biggest differences between our tunes and many competitors’ is our linear, OEM-like throttle response. Some software tuners artificially increase throttle sensitivity to give a peaky feeling under acceleration, masking a weaker torque curve. In contrast, our calibrations are designed to provide the most usable and consistent power curve possible — maintaining a strong pull without torque falling off midway through the rev range.
By generating peak power as early as possible while keeping the torque curve strong throughout, our tunes not only achieve an attractive top-end number but also deliver a wider, more enjoyable powerband that translates to real-world performance you can feel every time you drive.
