my shop is located in RI (see sig for website)

if not in the MA area, you've got ACS racing
and www.trickengineering.com in NH...

I can vouch for myself and for the guys at kinetic/trick...but I don't know anyone at ACS, but some of my customers have gone to them before and haven't had anything bad to say about them

hope that helps

yes you will need a hondata, chrome, neptune, vafc, safc, etc to tune with, other than that all any body can do is fiddle with fuel pressure and base timing

spark plugs, gas, $, make sure your car is not going to run out of fuel.

avg cost 200-300

i would personally buy a wideband tune it on the street and when summer comes go to a dyno. hondata has a good write up on how to do it.

aem uego is a good price
