It looks cool but wouldn't show me the info I really needed. I opted against it and decided to buy myself 3 pairs of Nike Shox.

I'd go for it. You have header and exhaust. You can use it to tune for max power. It also makes a cool display to go with your blue led interior

on a stock car you will see little gains, but on a full bolt on car, you can see pretty good gains across the board when tuned properly. The main thing is getting the a/f adjusted properly. I have seen an accord with the j30 motor smooth out the power and torque curve with the use of the vafc.

I guess Velocity Resources or SpeedZone in orlando could do it...

That's the thing Darkshear, remember that it may be $30 for the unit, but you have to add on any installation costs and tuning. I imagine the place that tunes it would do the installation as well?

VR would certainly be a good place to start, but there are many Honda speciaized performance shops around if you do some snooping.

That's cool. I didn't know if it had to be tuned immediately after installation, or if it didn't make any changed by default.
