Default Picking The Right Hondata System for me?

Currently stumped on what to get for a system. Now I dont really plan on setting the car for drag or anything, just street use mainly. I do however want the car to be fairly reliable when it comes down to tuning. Tunning is key in any car and im not sure if hondata is a system that you always wanna toy around with to keep your car healthy. I dont think hondata is a "set and forget" or is it? I just mainly want to do my car right and not cut corners. Any advice is welcome

Hondata s200 with boost. Its basic and will do everything you need. Get it tuned by a dealer/tuner and you are set.

Might as well get the S200, I think it's only $50 more than the S100. And if you want to start your own tuning and have a laptop, you can upgrade later.

i recommend you go with the s100 and just have someone tune it well. i do tuning so i am obligated to have the s200 but then again, i have a wideband tuner, laptop, emulator, burner and lots of experience now to go with it to ensure good tuning.

for my next project, i am putting an S100 in it because you have everything contained neatly in your ECU box. unless you are sure you want to invest in all it takes to do your own tuning, then go with the S100!

Ok, you guys are scaring me.
I just ordered a S200B today. I planned on having someone else tune it, but you make it sound like i have to tune it myself?? I didnt plan on tuning it myself, i planned on upgrading it later on...
help!

With the s200 systems you can either tune it yourself if you get the respective upgrades and software, or you can have someone else tune it. With the s200 you have the option of adding onto your system, whereas the s100 systems dont.
