having been at evans tuning yesterday the topic of the ballade tct came up and he also mentioned i should have no concerns, so having spoken to 2 people who built/tune 1000hp hondas, if they said its good to go, ill take their word for it, over something i read on s2ki with no scientific evidence to back it up.

The concern comes from Ballade having a bad rep on this forum, and from several reporting engine damage from using the Ballade tct.

There are other trusted sources that have a sterling reputation here.

Its good to know though there are reputable sources that are saying the Ballade unit is ok. I hadn't heard that before.
