Default B20B tuning

so i have a question...i was reading up on here and most ppl are saying that the honda ecu's dont compensate and learn the bolt ons you may put on them...so i have a 99 b20b swapped into my 89 ef si...it is pretty quick with the set-up i have but since i read the info about the ecu's and them not compensating very well i was wondering would it be worth it to tune my car?? would i see much of a difference or is it just pointless...

i have a short ram, and header back exhaust... or

get a chipped ECU you'll def. feel a diff. maybe a street tune but no dyno tune is needed.

Xenocron and Phearble both offer a basemap for your setup. You let them know the motor, injectors, exhaust, ecu, major modifications, ect. Is your computer allready chipped?

so your saying get a street tunned ecu from phearable then go get it fine tunned with something like an SAFC to pull more out of the motor...i was talking to a guy from phearable about the chipped ecus...they said i'd get about 4-6 whp out of just that....anybody really think more can be pulled out of just tunning than that...maybe like 1 or 2 more whp or would i see more gains than that??
