I think I speak for trevor when I say some people don't have haltech or S300 money, so chips it's gotta be! I've got a whole box of chips, why not put them to use. Most owners live life Ron Popeil style, set it and forget it. loll They aren't out there tryin to change things on the fly. It's 2025 and I've still burned chips for folks. I tune them with my ostrich, but they get a chip when done.

Also personally I think Honda tuning suite is better for like 95% of cars vs s300. It has just as many features and it’s free and can be burnt on a .86 cent chip from China

Especially when s300 wants to be buggy as hell half the time if your not connected to wifi. I’d much rather chip tune cars on hts, plus the variable launch control is pretty sweet along with ignition only rev limiter.

Why would you not cut fuel at the same time as you cut ignition ?
