Do your self the favor & spend money where it counts (engine management).
Look into Hondata s300, Neptune RTP & eCtune RTP systems for around $399-$490

There is no problem with what you have bought, however for the money it would have been smarter to use a demon with neptune or ectune. Even an s300 system.

for the price of that you could have had someone local tune the car, but i understand that you want to do it yourself. Chrome and Uberdata are two free softwares.. well chrome pro isnt free.. Also Uberdata is no longer in development.

Should have went for the Ectune/Demon package.

The only difference between Crome FREE and Crome PRO is datalogging...simple.

So you can use your Ostrich, upload and make changes in realtime, and then even burn yourself a chip at the end of your tune.

If you are doing full throttle dyno stuff, its pretty easy to tune, especially if you can log with the dyno (most can).

It will be a lot harder to do part throttle stuff though, and make changes in select areas of the maps if you dont know exactly where the car is running in the maps.

If you have any questions about this stuff too, you can always email us!

buy ectune or neptune software.

crome sucks. period. you are going to be restarting crome more than you will be tuning your car. enjoy it crashing on you randomly.

i used crome till i got ectune. Its ok but has some bugs. you can use freelog to datalog. Ectune idle and runs lot smoother from the start. Crome works but you just have to learn all the bugs or you will blow your engine. its like you have to follow the correct sequence or you have so many problem. i use it to tune friends cars that dont have the money buy hondata ectune etc. but i cant stress enough that it has bugs you will have to watch for.
