Default AEM FIC tuning

will the AEM FIC be capable for tuning N/A? i would think so. i may go boost in the future but want to tune for my N/A setup for now. would i get similar results as a hondata reflash? would i get any gains at all over stock?

ehhh not really.

the FIC only allows for a reduction in timing, which is not typically a power making process for n/a cars. you'd be better off with a reflash or something.

what mods do you have?

i have k&n intake, 70mm tp and exhaust, want to get header and a new intake manifold. is there anything i can use such as a VAFC on my 08 to tune with. i cant really do the reflash because i really cant have any downtime on my car because of work.

i think i might get the reflash, im sick and will have a few days off work. after i get the reflash will there be any problem with tuning with the aem FIC if i ever s/c the car. will the reflash fight the FIC when trying to take away timing and adding fuel? i like that my vtec will be lowered by the reflash!!!!

I think you should make up your mind on boost or NA. Just get Nitrous so you'll have both ; )

boost is where my heart is but i want to keep my warranty for a while. i wont be able to afford boost for a long time and im trying to move out soon and all that stuff. so i sent my ecu out for a reflash today and will get a header soon and be happy with that for a while. if i do boost that 4200 vtec crossover wont hurt
