I don't have any experience with Crome unfortunately (I'd sure like to have some) but Schmoo says he's had good results and it costs substantially less than Hondata and a briefcase less than AEM EMS.

I chose to tune with crome because its a grip cheaper and in the end, does the same thing as the other paid programs, and it has ITB support.

The hard part is getting it all setup and running. Thats the main problem i had with mine. But once it was setup, everything was fine.
