Default hybrid performance?

My girlfriends fathers has a 2005 honda accord V6 hybrid. He just put in a k&n air filter and said he noticed that it accelerated better. I mentioned that there may be a performance tuner out on the market. I have searched and have yet to find one. I was woundering if anyone has heard of such an item for a hybrid. I am not sure if there is anything out on the market do to how new they are as well as how intricate the entire hybrid system is.

I have yet to hear of much of anything available for those hybrids. It would kind of defeate the purpose of the car in a way. Its made more extended mileage more then performance... not to say they are slow in any way. You get my point.

i understand. I figured that there could be something that might allow you to change the timing or some other features. Since no car comes from the factory with the best tune for performance or MPG. The only thing I have found is brake rotors and pads as well as a K&N filter.
