hondata or uberdata?
 
What should I go with, I know NOTHING about either of them ,all I know is that my S-afc and 450cc are making me way too rich leaned out at -40% and -50% at idle. right now I'm running 9:1 a/f pretty much all the way across, at idle i'm a little better, but still in the 10:1 or 10.5:1 ratio! So, hondata and uperdata will let me tune it to the exact specs i've heard. WHat is better, I know that that uperdata is cheaper, but I don't know anything about it even after reading about it. :-\ and whats the cost of uperdata anyways, like total finsihed product cost?

Uberdata is esentially free isn't it? There will be the indirect cost of a burner, but thats about it.

what's a burner, a soder gun? and can I send out my ecu to get it done, or do I have to do it my self? It sounds really hard..is it?

If I go uperdata, do I get rid of my afc and 450cc, or just the afc and keep the 450's? planning on running 9-10 psi on t25, d16z6.

Keep the 450's, you can keep the afc if you want a fancy boost gauge and tach.

I would suggest heading over to the Uberdata board and asking around.

Re:hondata or uperdata?
 
Let me give you my strong opinion. USE UBERDATA!!!!! The software is free, the options are great, and it really works! I actually just put my 440's in, burned a chip, and the car runs awesome (still need to tune it). I bought everything I needed off of Moates.net for $106. This included the Uber kit, which has everything you need to chip your ecu, and the Burn1 burner that you use to burn your chips. That's it. No $800 software, blue box, or anything else. If you know someone with a burner, all you need is $21 for the ecu parts to be shipped! As for the soldering, it seems to be a bit tricky but do-able. I had someone solder it for me only to find they f-d up. So I ended up buying all the desoldering/resoldering stuff I needed and basically did it myself and it works great. What ecu do you have? If you'd like I could probably chip it for you and burn you a base tune (might as well use all that soldering stuff I bought ;)). Let me know. But bottom line, I would go with Uberdata if I were you.

i'll go with the uperdata and sell my afc, I can probably get about $150-180 of ebay for it.

Yes UBerdata is your best bet.
