I would wait until you've done all the N/A mods you want to do before tuning. I've done everything I wanted so far so I'll be getting tuned really soon.

you know in a lot of states reckless driving/racing is the same charge, and is criminal nearing penalty levels of a DUI right? keep it on the track.

as far as tuning, make sure you are done with your mods before doing it. are you going to do headers, TP's or HFC's? if not, tuning wouldn't hurt.

you can definitely squeeze out another 10ish hp with the current mods, you have to ask yourself if the money is worth it to you.

my two cents is this...

1. this forum cracks me up
2. if you have exhausted your NA mod list (and are done with NA mods) then get a 500-700 reflash for 10 HP.
3. the cost of reflash is a nice chunck out of an FI kit.
4. People crash Honda CIVIC DXs in the turns so that statemet was a waist
5. life is better with boost, but sucks when you blow your motor...BOOST WISELY
6. this forum has a lot of experts...listen carefully.
7. we all know that SRT4's beat Supras all daum day long Ruggern! Even Auto Supras! LOL

I am not an expert.

Get a VB Upgrade if your don't already have one. Will shave some time of your quarter.

I likes NA. My next car: Vintage JDM roadster! Maybe another Honda , who knows.

LOTS of boost is fun - but been there done that.

IMO, and coming from experience, a well balanced NA vehicle can provide just as much of an enjoyable driving experience as a 6xx/7xx+ whp car.

+2 as much as I loved the brutal acceleration of my 550+whp stealth and running low 11s (on pump gas), after a while it just got boring. Balance became much more important to me. I love my 350z, it's fun as hell NA. Plus I know I can beat the $HiT out of it and it'll take it like a champ. In the end it's all up to you. It's your money
