The hondata can do everything the VAFC can do plus more with better accuracy. There would be no reason to keep the VAFC around.

Unless you want more doodads and pretty colors on your dash, it's useless.

The reason i ask is i bought a VAFC2 with a boomslang harness for my car, but thats when i wasn't planing on gonna turbo. Now i want to go FI and i was wondering if i should keep it or not. I kinda figured it would be "not needed"

I agree. It is a good system.

I would sell it off and make some money from it. You won't regret it.

hondata is nice, dont get me wrong, but its way too expensive. crome pro is 150 bux and even has an auto tune function

I would talk to whoever is tuning the car and go with whatever they are most comfortable with. It will most likely give you a better running car.

If you are doing the tune yourself, Crome is a very user-friendly piece of software and fully capable with just the trial version.
