there's also hondata, which requires you have an OBDI ECU but is pretty powerful.
the newest option gaining popularity is the greddy emanage, which sounds pretty cool, and isn't too expensive.
been there done that

hondata hands down. has way more tuning options than a vafc. there are some downsides though. as previously mentioned you have to convert to obd1 if you're obd2 and if there's nobody around you with the necessary tools to tune it with, you're SOL. do you have mods requiring you to tune the fuel system?

well is there any reason you need all this fuel? e.g. on a stock engine it'll just make you run rich, which = slow.
if you've got a lot of engine work done, or a turbo though, it'll be necessary to upgrade fuel and stuff.
if you don't mind going to OBDI hondata is prob the best option.

This a preboost question. I am doing reasearch for the near future.

AEM is a harder unit to program than the Hondata units however it does allow much more tuning options built into the main unit, and tighter maps I believe. Either way if you're doing a full out build you go Hondata or AEM. The rest are either too messy or just don't compare against these two unless you go Motec but then that's just far too expensive (2-3x that of AEM or Hondata)
