Ok, What kind of management would your recommend? And do you think this is worth $2000 or should I save for a K24 vtec?

not gonna say worth it or not my internal calculator has crapped out.

there are many different systems, all equally good. the main thing is no acf / fmu crap. get injectors for the power you want to make, and trust your tuner and maybe see what he prefers.

i am on hondata s300.
