2018 Honda Civic — conservative tune feels great — what should I log? — trying to narrow this down

GarageDaily716Community StarterMar 21, 20262018 Honda Civic SiHouston
2018 Honda Civic Si, about 105,000 miles. I do not want to judge a tune only by how fast the car feels. Which parameters are worth logging periodically if the goal is catching fuel, knock, boost or temperature problems early? I am in Houston. Mostly looking for the right next step. What would you check next?

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2018 Honda Civic before a big repair or a big spend. I'd do that before spending real money. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. I'll update if anything new shows up.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2018 Honda Civic, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. Then you'll know the next fork. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Useful. I'll report back after I verify that on my 2018 Honda Civic. That's my plan before I call anyone.
