If you are going to tune it yourself, why not save money and tune with uberdata? Hondata is great and all but why shell out all that money when you can get it for free with almost as many features?
Yes, hacking up the ECU harness sucks and I made it even worse by installing my E-manage. However, the blue box is great because you just splice it in and start the car and the preset curves are conservative and there is no check engine light. It is far superior to an FMU/check valve setup.
