yeah that's true. as long as you don't compare uberdata to rotas lol.
but seriously...when i first turbo'ed my car i bought hondata b/c that's what is well known and i knew it was good stuff. unfortunately, the tuner couldn't get it right. at first it was too lean, then it was too rich. i got really frustrated so i called up matt shue to help me, and he said i didn't need hondata. he tuned my car using uberdata and it runs PERFECT. i sold my hondata and got my 500 bucks back lol.

basically for driving you want 14.7-15.0, then when you hit boost you want it to lean out to 11.3-12.0

Thats what I thought. On Matts dyno graph,it reads 12.1-12.3 full boost. Thats not good isn't it.

12.1-12.3 full boost is a little too lean for me...but it's not catastrophic to the motor or anything. it's just safer to be in the 11's when in full boost.

chrome is free.

so we get what we didn't pay for.

i've had hondata in the past. i actually didn't have a problem with it. i just didn't see a point in spending $500 for everytime hondata came out with a new model... so i went with chrome.
