Um, well yeah. With out an engine mangement system, your tunning capabilties are limited.

you don't need it but it will make it a whole lot easier to tune, it is more of a matter of wanting it

your OPTIMAL situation is to use somthing like the AEM ems or hondata.

an Apex VAFC or SAFC will give you more tuning than stock.

i would never personally run a chipped ecu on a modified engine because every motor reacts diffrently. small things like temprature or altitude can completley change fuel and timing numbers.
