Question Electronic add-ons...

I've searched to see if they make any kind of electronic computer, chip or ignition add on. The only things I can find are the Apexi VAFC, Superchips ICON and the Jet V-Force Power Control module. All claim increased performance, up 20% power increased. Coming from a Ford background, many of these type of products don't do squat.. on GM cars, they do.. So what about on the Honda/Acura cars? A worthy investment or waste? Are there any others?

Thanks
Rob

I heard that the jet chip will give u a extra 15 HP and its lik e250 bucks. It worked down to like less than 20 bucks a HP, but if u looked at the diff between the CL-P and the CL-S, there is a 35 HP gain and its a mere 3grand more. thats like 60 something bucks a HP. No tto bad if u think in terms of that. I may think about the chip, but i am more interested in getting the exasut and springs 1st. Droppin her and gettina better grunt after launchin off the line is what I want. YEH BABY YEH.

I've done some research on the Apexi V-AFC, but nothing on the jet V-power chip. Do you have a website that i can go to for particular chip. I thought that jet chips were for domestics cars. Thanks for help!

You can try http://www.jetchip.com/imports/vforce.cfm

some of the highlights:
The JET V-Force Power Control Modules (PCM) uses the same computer tuning technology found in JET's popular domestic tuning products. A 20Mhz RISC microprocessor optimizes the ignition spark advance and recalibrates the fuel map for optimum horsepower and acceleration.

Check out bignastys posts in the CL forum on his results with the V-AFC.
