needs a 255 fuel pump and a program to run and tune heres my delima the hondata s300 is $600 if i send in my current chipped ecu know there are hella fake s300 out there dont wanna get burned so was advised to get it from a direct dealer i know chrome can run it but dont know the pros cons of it do know if i got the $ hondata all the way but 2 kids and 1 income brain says put the best or nothing budget says if it works for now use it till you can upgrade.
