Default MOtec vs. HONDATA?

hey guys, i'm getting back into the honda stuff and bought a 93 cx hatch. I am planing to do an all motor B16 swap.

plans will be to rebuild the motor with toda pistons and rods, toda valvetrain, header and individual throttle bodies.

Toda states that the intake requires use of a seperate managment system, which leads to my question, what would be more user freindly, tunable, and best situated for daily driver/weekend track warrior.

ps any suggestions on upgrades or suspension advice is greatly appreciated.

If I had to choose, I'd go with a Power FC, but between the 2 mentioned, you can use Hondata to run the ITB's. Also, there's not too many places that are experienced in tuning Motec.

Especially on the wallet. You can also go with AEM EMS.
