I got an OBD1 p72, but i'm still contemplating which tuning method. Originally I planned to street tune with chrome, but now thinking i'm better off leaving it to the professionals. I'll use whatever they are confident with locally. I did get an AEM Wideband in the process.
It's smart you're sticking with alot of OEM parts. For the flywheel you would want to keep it on the heavy side with some minimal reduction, opposed to n/a setups you want to keep the inertia for the spinning motor to reduce spool up times. If you went too light, you can find yourself revving up real fast from the extra power then stalling it more than you should.

Crome is fine, Spec R ran that setup in his car. If you do have the funds, Hondata's pieces have always been prevalent since they are very close to OEM code. Our race car originally had problems dialing in the ITBs on the AEM EMS with the K20, when we found Hondata had higher resolution and OE friendly maps...it was fixed in no time.
