I'm using Neptune but I don't see how that helps you any.

Since you give no information about your setup, who is going to tune it, and how much you want to spend on this, how are we supposed to help you?

vafc is a horrible tuning tool if you care about it lasting

depending on how much money you got, chip the ecu and tune with crome, uberdata, ectune. or you can take it a step further and go hondata, neptune. or you can go all out and go motec, aem ems, etc.

Fair enough. The search button is your friend. There is a thread on this subject practically every 15 minutes in the forced induction section.

This thread should pretty much answer any questions you have about the features of the popular engine management systems: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2145442

they all work, it all depends on finding a competent tuner you trust and using what they are best/most confident with

Exactly, the tuner is everything. Ask around, see what they are using and why, then make sure they know what they are doing. Personally im on CROME pro right now and so is my brother solely because thats what my tuner uses and i trust my engine in his hands. Dave Lee
