TuneZilla strives for an OEM level of drivability and reliability. Their team of Calibrators from around the world painstakingly work to deliver repeatable performance on all of their base maps. One of the major differences between TuneZilla tunes and most of their competitor's tunes is their linear OEM-like throttle response. Where some software tuners increase throttle response to mask the actual output of their tunes by giving a very peaky feeling under acceleration, TuneZilla tunes are designed to make the most usable and consistent power curve possible to maintain a strong pull without a heavy fall off midway through the power band. All while generating peak power as early as possible in the RPM range. Most off the shelf tunes advertise an attractive peak power figure but suffer from a sudden drop in torque and a lower torque curve throughout the remainder of the RPM range.
