Default Hondata Reflash for Ep3

I know that the n/a reflash program comes already tuned for basic bolt-ons such as I/H/E. Im guessing that the program comes with the a3's stock compression in mind. My question is...If you have the basic bolt-ons + a head gasket(Mugen) that raises the comp. ratio, would the reflash work just as well? Or would another program work better?

just save your cash to get a k-pro if you plan on adding anything new after your current mods now. or if you completely done i suggest get the reflash then, but yeah reflash would work fine.

Relating to this a little but i know that the A3 just requires 87 octane. Does getting the hondata reflash require you to get higher grade gas?

No, It's not "Required".
But I use 93 anyways.

true

i'd say save up for k-pro, it's twice the price but it'll save you money if you keep tuning... in the future.

Using 93 iz pointless, besides with a A3 that grade fuel does nothing more 4 your n-gin than 91.

Perhaps his local gas situation is like mine, where we only get 87, 89 and 93, typically not 91.

Slightly off-topic, but what about an overbored throttle body? Still think it would work well with the A3 reflash?
