Well yeah...
Your looking at: 250 for V/SAFC, 155 for the FMU, and another 375 for 3 hours (roughly) of tuning.
So your lookin at $780.

Hondata for OBD0 is cheap, your lookin at 500 for the system, and 300 to tune it. So your spending 20 bucks more, for probably 30 more hp AND scalibility for added performance later on.

It's just the smart thing to do man... period.
