Default SMC or Hondata s200?!?

I been hearing good things about the SMC, it basically does what SAFC/DSM injectors do but less flashly and CHEAPER! I was about to buy Hondata but if this system is reliable and smooth till about 9-10 PSI which I plan to stick at until a rebuild I can't go wrong buying it over Hondata??

I just wish the SMC was around longer so I could hear some more reviews about it, I'd like to be a ginipig but..

Why not do it the best you can the first time around? Just get the hondata. If you plan on staying with the hack go ahead and do it. I'd wait a little longer for more people to use the smc tho.

I had the same question at first just like you then I found out the Hondata was gonna cost me $430 shipped from the GB then $375 to get it installed and tuned thats already $805 and we have counted the cost of injectors yet or the $65 to get the ECU prepped, I said F that, SMC has got to be better than a FMU at a fraction of the hdata cost, there is no way I'm going to fork up that much at once for any thing on my car I had to draw the line somewhere, Life existed before Hondata people ran fast times before Hondata, not talking smack about it but its just not for part time bargain hunter low income workers like myself, there other cost effective ways for me to go fast.

i know hondata is good. but i cant fork out the money for it and the tuning. dont plan on having my car for long enough to justify the expense.

sure, people were around running fast times - but it was always the question of how long til you have to build the motor. Who would have dreamed of reliably running over 300whp 2 years ago daily in a GSR? Not many, and not with the drivability that Hondata offers. I believe in this product enough to sell it, and I don't sell many things...
