This new tune file is slated to be released on May 1st. There were many changes made, not only to the STPs - which were manipulated to increase intake velocity; this resulted in an increase in hp and torque in the middle, but not on top. Ignition maps were changed, as you said - everything was de-restricted: the separate gear limiters and the top speed limiter are now gone. "On/off" deceleration maps were changed to make the bike smoother through turns, and the fueling was definately changed. Ignition timing alone netted 2 more hp, while the fueling got us the other 6. Torque came up significantly across the board with some good gains in the middle. Another change has to do with modes - with this tune file the ZX14 will remain in whatever mode the bike was in when the ignition is turned off. When you turn the ignition back on, you won't have to "reset" your traction control - the bike will be in the same mode it was in when turned off. I know one guy who lost a race because stock, it has to be reset every time you restart the bike. Several people were involved in this particular tune file, many hours and dyno tuning/testing went into it. POWERHOUSE is responsible for all the fuel tuning that resulted, and all the dyno testing and data logging that got us to this point. There were other changes made internally to the ecu that I have not mentioned . . . all of it will be published when the file is officially introduced May 1st. Stay tuned!
