wow since when was 295 alot more then the vafc. i always see them going for 330 or so at least the 2's

http://www.hondata.com/prices.html

and that 295 is for the s200 which you don't really need but i think its foolish not to spend the extra money and have endless possiblities

VAFC is a piggyback ECU, it modifies the MAP sensor reading, it cannot change the fuel and timing tables.
Hondata does that

go to http://www.hondata.com and find out more !!

One thing to consider is to make sure you have a reputable Hondata tuner tune it. Sometimes its better to go with the VAFC because you dont have any hondata tuners in your area.

hondata is definitly a better pick hands down...

but you cant go wrong with a vafc, they are simple and easy to use but get the job done right

i second that. yea, more possibilities but if you have no one to tune in your area that knows what they're doing, then why bother?

From the dyno's we have seen, HONDATA seems to make alittle more HP compared to the VAFC, but we have also seen VAFC make just as much HP as the HONDATA system. The person tunning plays a big part in this area!

hondata is great for the buck! definatly way better than a VAFC! but if u got nobody to tune it its worthless! a vafc is limited in functions! also if there is nobody in your area that tunes Hondata i wouldnt get it! just my opinion....good luck either way

Very true, but finding a good Hondata tuner, not for only peak, but for all around is hard to find.

Hence why I'm thinking about doing it myself.
