Any negative effects from Hondata yet?
Just curious if anyone has had any engine problems that can be related to their reflash yet?

yes. it makes you want to drive above 5000 rpm all the time.
:troutslap
but no, i bought mine the first day it came out and i have had no problems whatsoever.
except maybe confused looks from cars when my tsx kicks their ass.

Congrats on the new ride and the boost in power

Its about time jigga.
There was this one member who posted an interesting story about the reflash but I wouldn't worry too much about what he said. He's kinda senile if you ask me. Here is the thead

The only performance mod i have so far is Injen air intake, I feel like there is no point in doing any other engine performance mods without reflashing first.

No downside for me, had it for about six months and I smile everytime I vtec at 5k. The headers and intake (and eventually cat) really open up the reflash's effect, but it was great even before I did those mods.

i just have some paranoia from a past chip experience on an audi S4. but i think that was a different situation because you are messing with turbo boost pressures.

Should be a pretty close call. Might come down to the driver.

at to mt can't really compare.
It wouldn't be surprising if the 06 lost some torque under 6k rpms as comapred to the 04-05 because fo the higher flowing intake manifold and exhaust. Well just have to see when dynos come out for the mt.
