Your going to need a laptop to do a street tune. All you do is run one of the base maps preferrably with the set up you have data log and then have someone who knows how to tune take your datalog and tweak your set up. I chose to Dyno Tune mine for full potential and power as street tune won't give you full advantage...just a suggestion with K Pro...

What tuning software are you used to using because, it seems like you aren't too qualified to do any tuning. Not trying to judge you or anything, it just seems like you are pretty noob in this area which isn't a good thing, you can seriously EFF your car if you screwed up your A/F ratio etc...

It's prolly a better idea to wait until you can afford a proper tune. Just be smart about something this big you know what I mean.

Have you even been to the Hondata website yet? I'm on the verge of closing this thread due to lack of research. Go look up a few threads on K-Pro and visit Hondata.com, then come back and ask what ever other questions that haven't been covered.

yeah bro, download the software from hondata.com which is usually a way to go since they make the latest versions available, so if you bought one from someone used, you'd prolly need updated version anyway. As for street tuning, wait to do the Dyno tuning, cuz the basemap in most cases are good to begin with. I would avoid making any f*ck ups w/ my kpro... just my two cents...
