Would it make much diff tuning it, even if i just have those two mods. Plannin on getting an injen intake next week.. =)

well maybe it will be worth installing it and tuning it after you've done all your bolt on mods

it will definatly be worth it, even if you were leaving the car stock...........but like [ricer] said, do all the mods then get it installed (plug and play) and tuned, to make the best/most of the mods..............

FARK.. just buy my obd1 modded ECU.. u can run CROME on it..

I got it for sale... $250 (not yet advertised).. then all u need is a conversion harness for <$100

1/4 the price of PFC and will yield the same power

just go with what ever ur tuner is better with... if he's good at pfc get that... if he's better at hondata or crome then get the older ecu for your car

if you get the power FC its got a base map for the dc2r if you get the right one. plug & play goodness.

Also they are phasing out the PFC for the dc2r so should get it now while you can

Also down the track you can get it tuned once you get all the goodies.

You can also watch the A/F readings and all the other graphs and see what the mods are doing to it all.

If yuou have other plans for it yeah go for it. If you think it's going to be a while until you mod more.. then i'd be spending my money on suspention and/or air intake rather than Power FC. Don't do it for bling factor.

PowerFC is starting to show its age feature wise these days, maybe look at something with a few more options, for similar coin, having said that i got a PowerFC and cant fault it, just wish i had launch control

I think you can get launch control with PFC you jsut need the extra module
