Hondata or what?
OK so ive got almost all the parts i need to do my b20vtec set up. I bought a p28 from a guy on here. I need to know what kind of management is best. I know hondata is the most expensive but you get what you pay for. Power goals arent crazy but i want what ever is best for a daily driver (this is going to be my everyday car). So what do you guys reccomend?
Right now I have a b20b bottom end with a obd1 gsr head. The head is P+P, with type r cams, b16 camgears, skunk2 IM, skunk2 proworks valve train, and MSD spark.

It's not the program so much, it's who tunes it.
I like Crome, but if I were to pay for something, it'd be Hondata. Baised soley only on the people who tune the stuff around me.

well aem is the most expensive and obviously for areason.. but i have yet to hear anything bad about crome.. and i have seen many good results from it. but like stated above its all going to be about the tuning. also its a free program. so thats def. what i would go with.. unless you want to spend moeny on something then i would go with AEM

sohc_mshue is a good guy.
A street tune is really all you need to start out with, maybe dyno later. yes crome is free, unless you want datalogging. but if you're not going to tune it yourself, don't worry about that.

AEM doesn't make a very $$ setup as far as standalones go. I can name a lot of other standalones that cost many times more than AEMs do, but that's beside the point.
For the amount of tuning you need to do with your setup, which isn't much compared to a lot of things, you don't need the flexibility of a AEM setup. The freeware programs or Hondata will work fine. If you want good support, Hondata is the way to go. If you want to save money, and don't need the high level of software sophistication, the freeware is a good choice. It all comes down to tuning though.
