Best performance chip?
What's the best performance chip for a 6th Gen Accord? I have only looked for chips by Jet, but haven't had any lucky finding one for my car. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

Jet does make one for your vehicle - I know it isn't listed on Jet's crappy website, but they do. Actually, they have you mail in your ECU and they reprogram it. You can find it on sites like http://www.nopi.com and http://www.landspeedracing.com.
An alternative would be to get an Apexi V-AFC and do the programming yourself. This gives you a bit more options because then you can turn off the tuning if you need to for warranty/emissions/etc. See http://www.apexi-usa.com/electronics_vafc.asp for details.

Don't get Jet!! Some people send their ECU in and get it back the same way it was sent and gets charged of course. Get a VAFC, tune it, and be done with it.

Ah, that doesn't sound good. Can anyone tell me if the V-AFC will work on a 6th Gen? I'm getting a lot of mixed answers.

Re: Best performance chip? (OEMaccord)
yes, VAFC will work on 6th gens, and im 100% sure of it cause i know a grip of ppl with them on their 6th gens, and they're happy campers. I would suggest Vafc over any chip.

V-AFC's DO work on 6th gens, I've had mine on for almost a year now and the vtec cross over works when its set some where between 3500 and 4000rpm.
As for that post put out by apexi, the distributor for a local autoparts store checked with apexi and said that there is no problem with the V-AFC on F22's or F23's. There are plenty of people out there with F22's and F23's using V-AFC's.

In response to the Venom 400, don't **** away your money. I have a friend with a H23 prelude that bought a Venom 400. His 1/4 times didn't improve at all.

I don't know what people mean by the variable vtec cross over on the F23's?
I'll start a new thread on that to stop hijacking this one.
