Compared to older firmware versions, the V330 update introduced several features relevant to professional calibrators:

| Feature | Pre-V330 | V330 Protocol | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Data Logging | Slow sample rates (~10-15 samples/sec) | High speed (>50 samples/sec) | | Rev Limits | Hardcoded fuel cuts | Adjustable ignition retard & fuel cut | | VTEC Window | Narrow | Fully adjustable pressure/RPM window | | MAF Delete | Difficult/Unstable | Smooth SD (Speed Density) integration |

In OEM Honda ECUs, knock sensor logic is often "dumbed down" or delayed to account for poor quality fuel at the pump. V330 "Exclusive" calibrations often alter the Knock Window tables.
