i always recommend converting, the car runs better, more reliable, and OBD I distributers last a lot longer.

i use hondata, and love it, never had an issue, there are many different options out there, i recommend LHT for many different tuning options. im sure you will hear alot about freeware programs, but just be weary of what you use and use what your tuner is familiar with and make sure you understand the system and how it works as well

ive met you b4, i am friends with jamie here in lakeland...ive seen your car at the track....runs real strong....so ruffley how much does this hondata or crome or whatever cost? also how do they tune it, do they use a laptop with a program, or how does that work?

i was talking with a buddie of mine about a haltek system but they are very exspensive.....

Crome ...

For the pro license to datalog is 150 ... If your just going to get it tuned and leave it alone , normal crome is fine for you .

Chipping is usually around 50-100 bucks depending on who does it , tunning is dependent on the tuner . 75 $'s and hour dyno time isnt cheap .

I recomend driving around street tunnign the car for a hour or 2 , then just clean it up on the dyno .

PM me if you have any questions ...

Not sure on a tuner as I'm new to the area, but Hondata is great. Its definately worth the money. I've been running it for about 2 years now.

I've taken a look at Uberdata and Chrome and neither compares to Hondata. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for when it comes to engine management. Call www.lightningmotorsports.com. They have the best price I've ever seen on Hondata.

Nope, not from around here, but engine management is something that you don't cheap out on. It's one of the most vital parts of your setup.

I agree, but I don't agree with your opinion on crome
