Just curious if you are boosted or not? I would like to know if you can get more power from tuning with the AEM FIC on an N/A car. I got 25 more HP on my car without raising the boost by tuning with the AEM FIC. I suspect with a good tuner you could get more power even on an N/A car, maybe not as much however. My car ran much smoother after we installed and mapped with the AEM FIC and no dip at vtec.

Yeah, It wasn't bad but I definitely would want to go with the AEM FIC. Now I'm thinking about that flashpro.

Why do you ask?

i'm just curious, i thought maybe there was another tuning tool that i wasn't aware of. yeah, the hondata flashpro sounds promising, i'm looking forward to hearing more details on it. it sounds like hondata's trying to lower everybodys' expectations by saying that not all k-pro features will be available on the flashpro, so it's hard to predict exactly what features it'll have.

What were they talking about on that other thread when they said AP? I don't know what that is but it seemed like they were talking about a tuning solution.

From Hondata's site it sounds like the ECU is really complicated, so maybe it won't have all the features of KPRO. I dunno. I'm dissappointed that there is only gonna be a 150 dollar discount to previous reflash owners. Oh well I guess it's something.

AP=accessport. at first it sounded like cobb was going to beat hondata to releasing a tuning solution but by some miracle hondata finally **** something out. only took them 3+ years.
