I highly recommend Hondata for the CVT. If you have a Honda si get KTUNER instead.

Hondata flashpro works better for the CVTs and Honda Civic type r. If you are rocking with the honda civic si get ktuner instead of Hondata ktuner works best for the si and plus it comes with a display screen and you can flash any tune you want on the go.

In cvt trannys you can literally change gears yourself with the pressure you put on the pedal, it should definitely be faster than just flooring it, though you do have to get used to when to do it.

If your not worried about the trans and wanna win the race. I learned a thing called myxal two-stepping. Where u simply let off the gas slightly when your car starts to slow down in speed and immediately hit the throttle again. It rubber bands the car forward and ive won a few races with it.

It will be fine man. Hondata Tune is safe and reliable for Honda CVT. You can tune your CVT and it will be fine just don't launch it and brake boost because that's what wears out your CVT.
