well to actually tune with it you are gonna need a chip burner/chips socketed ecu or datalogging system. if u need to learn how to use the software then pay a tuner to teach u.

Deff take pics man, but since you bought care like that, it will have a usb for datalogging, thats its only use. If you want to get a little start in messing around with crome, go to tunewithcrome.com and download the free version. These chips are burned with a chip burner.

I would just stick to crome, i think there's far more user support at pgmfi.org than there is for hondata at all.

x2!!!!!, read very carefully before to understand crome's and its tuning abilities, i know it sounds like a disclaimer, but you can easily mess your car up, but if your read up very good, you can use it, many people do.

you can ask for advice, and thats what you got. But your topic "tuning with crome" is way more dangerous and insightful than just another one of those which header or short shifter threads.
