Crome is a good option.

If your swap is the one in your sig then the stock ecu is fine. Buy big mods before you buy chips.

IMO Use something that your tuner is good at.

BTW That ET is hard to believe. Basic bolt-ons besides the FD. In a Del Sol...That thing must be gutted or something

I recommend Kenji, just tell him what mods you have and what you plan on doing and he will recommend a good program for you

A basemap is not a "tune".

to the OP, find a good tuner thats willing to tune your car and ask him what he's good at tuning with. Some tuners are good with Hondata but suck with AEM, some are crazy with AEM but can't/don't do Crome. It all depends on your tuner really. But if you decide to go Crome you can always tune it yourself (with the proper equipment: wideband, Crome, laptop, etc.)

Never said that a basemap is a "tune". Just recommending Kenji as a start off point for him, I have GSR also and it ran much nicer after I got a ECU and custom setup through Kenji.

it is 2.0 60ft with RS-2, air pressure is 20 psi. I strongly recommend this tire (i mean with my set up). One more thing is the 4.785 fd.....
