Default Tuning ECU w/ minimal bolt-ons

I have a CAI, skunk2 intake mani and header/2.5 exhaust. If i were too tune my ecu with hondata s200, would it be worth it? would i experience about 10-15 hp gains?

To each their own. I doubt youll see 10 to 15whp. Maybe 5 to 10 (with a damn good tuner) on a stock motor.

because thats a horrible choice to build with. Delta cams can regrind your cam for you. Anyways you will not see 10whp at all. The k-series with GOOD bolt ons and kpro tuned will see a 10whp gain at best and those motors take the bolt ons good that's why. I think it would not be worth it to you until you do a cam then maybe it will be.

for as much as you paid for all those bolt ons, you would've been close to the price to at least an ls swap.....

i can't imagine spending money building the head on a non vtec sohc....

With a true standalone, you could get some pretty impressive gains with I/H/E. Piggybacks are basically band aids IMO.

I wouldn't spend the money on a Hondata, I would get a chipped P28 and use Crome. This way you won't spend hundreds of dollars.

You can also contact Phearable or Kenjii on this board for your ECU needs as well.
