Small to no fluctuations in torque is a good sign

BTW: Get a high flow cat and stop being evil to the environment.

get yourself a real ECU Mod like Hondata or AEM EMS and then you'll be able to actually change your setting on your car instead of just an off the shelf one size fits all computer. Yes they are a lot of money, but they are one of the only true ways to get your car to be truely "Tuned" and running at its peak performance. other helpful tuning items would be a FPR and FP guage, and cam gears. Even if you just got a Apexi S-AFC or such you would be able to actually get your car running the way you want it. Here are some sites to help you read up on what these products do...Hope this helps

Nothing in this setup allows for "tuning" in the conventional sense. :dunno:

What exactly did you have "tuned"? I see nothing there which is adjustable.

Actually couldn't have said it better myself. I'm still wondering the same thing.
