Default IPS K2 camshafts on K20Z3... Tuning? Hondata?

I'm seriously considering purchasing some IPS K2 cams for the Si...

But one thing struck me. What can I do as far as engine management? To my knowledge, Hondata has no K-PRO or reflash available for these cars.

I read in this months 'Sport Compact Car' about some sort of prototype Hondata reflash, but they couldn't get the fuel tuning down due to Honda's use of both a manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor and a mass airflow (MAF) sensor.

Does anyone have any information regarding how close Hondata is to cracking the new Si's 'brain?'

Of course not, and I was never planning upon such a thing.

I am clearly waiting for Hondata to catch up before I do cams.
