Default Phearable or Neptune?

Which one?

I drive a 99 gsr with a B18C1. Motor wise, I currently have a short ram intake, catback exhaust, intake mani, and pulleys. Plans to get header, skunk2 stage 1's, cam gears, and an ECU.

I have read up on both but which is better? I want more performance than anything and I don't know much about tuning...

thanks!

With NepTune you're either getting tuned by a dealer or getting the RTP to be able to tune yourself which gives you more potential.

Phearable can sell you a NepTune RTP package if that's what you want or basemaps for certain setups.

Depends what you're looking for.

You're pretty close to a few NepTune tuners in PA. I'd see about having them tune you.

Having your engine tuned properly is always going to beat getting a basemap, no matter engine management you use. Find a tuner with a good reputation and see what he prefers.

preference is what it is, preference. HRTuning is right. Why I ask you if you asked your tuner is because your tuner will tune it faster and safer with a program he's comfortable with. example: you don't want the v8 tuner that's comfortable with efilive to tune your car on crome.

All of the answers to your questions can be found on our website :-)

As HRtuning said, there is no replacement to having a professional tuner tune the vehicle in person. Having the ecu chipped is the next best thing.

NepTune, Hondata, eCtune, Crome. Like I said above, find a reputable tuner and see what he offers.

You mentioned Phearable as who you're looking at getting a basemap from, so yes.
