You need to get it tuned professionally... Everyones setups are different... And the only way to tell if its really working is on a dyno, a 'butt dyno' would not be sufficient... These are for fine tuning, a few hp here, or a few ft lbs of torque there, hence why u need a dyno... Otherwise its a waste of time and money...

To tune it yourself, you need a wideband O2 setup. That is about three times more expensive then then having a professional dyno tune it.

Not to mention a laptop and the knowledge to do it... And you still wouldnt get exact HP or torque numbers as a dyno would...

What do you need a laptop for? It's just an S-AFC.

No, that would be too easy. Wideband O2 setups include the sensor and theirown little digital display. Some are like a little box, others look like a normal gauge.

Well, when you do it on a dyno, it runs through that computer. I can see how it may confuse.

Some can be datalogged with a laptop.

One of my buddies setups for example: https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...d.php?t=210547
