Obd1 is the way to go. Hondata, Ectune, Neptune etc.

My goal it to get it tuned @ a shop close to home, Im not [freak]ing with that ****, too complicated and a computer/dyno can show you exactly where your at and where you need to go versus a street tune or DIY.

My power goal is about 220 nothing extreme.

what Im trying to find out is what should i have before i even step foot into a tunning session. So i can get my car tuned properly?

Thanks.

You need to find a local tuner and use what he uses.Many people will use Hondata which is a reliable, powerfull system.Hondata has a list of tuners on their website,some of them will tune with other systems also.
