Get rid of the fmu and vfac tune. I would go with Crome casue it is cheap and effective. Go to Dyno inc and talk to them about Crome and tuning. You will most like spend less money for the Crome chipping and Getting tuned than you would just buying a used hondata.

junk the fmu and missing link.

crome pro is identical to hondata and half the price. hondata, crome and uberdata are all rom editing programs, that are used to modify a file on your computer then burned to a chip, all of these will work with a "chipped" or socketed ecu. i hate when people say that they are getting uberdata or whatever....its like saying you are gonna put MS Word in your car.
