just to add on a smaller question.....does a new chip benefit a manual tranny more than an auto? and if you put a top-notch chip into a stock civic, what would be the performance gain?

You can't just say you want your vtec here or there...
If you want the most power, you need to have your engine tuned. That helps you find the BEST place for your vtec engagement..
If you're going to run a chipped P28, I would suggest getting a VAFC and have it tuned better.. because you never know what that "chip" is doing for your engine..

stock tachs are off by about 2-400rpm actual rpm was infact 8-8.1k rpm
my recommendations are:
VTEC @ 5.2-5.5k rpm
REV @ 8.4-8.6k rpm (which would show as about 8.6-8.8k rpm on stock tach)
as far as programs Mugen is not all that it might make power but you're wasting gas. I offer alternatives that come close the power levels but with stock B16A gas consumption. (ie. euro P30 maps)
