You never 'need' it.

Though It is useful before, during and after - just depends whether you have the funds to tune it before and during....or just after.

Tuning will always result in more power, simple. The more accurate / advanced the ECU your tuning the better the outcomes, period. Generally when ever I do any Dyno tuning I always do before and after run’s for the customs as part of the whole package.

Iv tuned numerous totaly stock B engines stock intake and exhaust etc, and gained anywhere from 8 – 12% doing further modifications such as intake / exhaust can either help make more power or in some cases loose power, if the wrong bolt on parts are used.

With the K engine the new DC5’s were seeing 22% - 25% power increase from a totally STOCK car just from tuning with Hondata. There’s no doubt that tuning and adding the ability to your car to have it tuned is a great modification. Not only does it give more power but you get greater driveability and a more economical car.
